Pandemic Reflections

One thing we learned during the lockdown is that we are truly, completely compatible. Thank goodness, right?! We both love being home, wherever that may be! And we’re both up for a challenge, big or small. We love everything health and wellness. We challenge ourselves to do something new every year and fully support and encourage each other on our journey. Pre-pandemic, we both got up at 5 am Monday – Friday. Chatted over coffee while packing breakfast and lunch to take to work. After work, we’d meet up at the gym, get home around 7 to make dinner, and fall asleep as soon as we picked out a show to watch. Not having that daily grind when the pandemic hit was like a revelation! We started sleeping till 7 am (lazy, I know). Long neighborhood walks at lunch, solving all the world’s problems☺. YouTube workouts at 5 and then…cocktails. Lots of cocktails. Don’t judge, you did the same thing!! But overall, we found balance and rhythm in this “new normal”. We talked about so many different things and had so much less stress. Just eliminating 2 to 3 hours of commuting in heavy traffic was like letting go of a kite on a windy day. Just poof, gone! We found clarity and focus instead. We could fully formulate our plans and talk through different scenarios and ideas. And we learned the most valuable thing in any relationship –we learned that adversity brought us closer and made us stronger than ever!
