It’s been almost a week now of living in semi-isolation. My family and I are spending slow days at home, feeling grateful for warmer days so that we can work and play outside in the yard. Also feeling grateful for our unconventional lifestyle - we homeschool our kids, and both my husband and I work freelance - so that the disruption to our daily rhythm feels less extreme.

But we’re still impacted. We’re limiting trips away from the house and only leaving for essential supplies like food and propane. We are canceling plans with friends and family. And many of those freelance jobs have been canceled or postponed.

The future is uncertain, but I am grateful for current health, security, and connection to friends and family near and far.

I know that this current situation and the future uncertainty will impact each of us differently. How are you doing? What are your immediate needs and your longer term worries? How has your daily rhythm been impacted? How are you staying connected with others?
