"Rock bottom became the solid foundation
on which I rebuilt my life."
- J.K. Rowling
GRIEF
I miss going out to dinner with my wife, family, and friends. I miss visiting my 1-year-old grandson. I miss going to concerts. I miss watching the joy of spring baseball and the intensity of the NBA playoffs.
I miss visiting my clients who I have grown so fond of. I miss spending the day training with those eager to learn
I know it's not forever, but it will be for a while longer. That is the hard reality.
It's perfectly normal to grieve in a time like this.
GRATITUDE
Last Saturday night our entire family, spread out in several locations, enjoyed playing virtual games over the internet for several hours. We didn't do that before COVID-19.
For several years I've wanted to write books and develop online training. I have been able to do this because of the stay-at-home directive.
We have food, shelter, and it's springtime.
It's important to be grateful in a time like this.
GRIT
Life after the virus will be different. The future of my business is unknown. Your future is unknown.
Let's together plan to be in a better place than before the virus hit. This will take more than wishful thinking. It will take wisdom, adaptability, and hard work.
It's important to have grit in a time like this.
