It has been over a month since the situation around the world has impacted our ways of life and the need for me to work for home. I am grateful that I have been one of the fortunate ones that have been able to do my job remotely with little to no impact of my capability to do so. It is also ironic that it all happened right after the family had just moved to a new home and neighborhood which has probably made it a little longer to adjust to.

Despite the challenges of adapting to the "new normal," there is so much to be happy about as the time has provided me with an opportunity to spend more time with the family and enjoy evenings and weekends together as we have become our own sources of entertainment. While things are slowly started to get to normal, there is no denying that things have changed forever. We often do not realize how our behaviors change unknowingly as we adapt individually and collectively.

We were outside a couple of days ago for a walk around the neighborhood as we are enjoying to do more often as weather permits and found a visitor near our doorstep when we got back! A peacock had appeared before us and stood there staring at us while we figured out what to do. While I had seen them driving around, I didn't know that they were in our new neighborhood. I always believe in signs and given the colorful and beauty of the peacock, I feel that it was like a sign of things being good, all things considered. I grow more grateful everyday that we can remain healthy together as a family despite the challenges outside our quarantine.

The world moves so quickly and the possibility of things changing is always present so I am often reminded to make the best of now. While opportunities exist around us all, I focus on remaining present and close to those I love as it is what I enjoy the most. I am sure things will get back to the time where I will need to be away from my family again so I might as well enjoy this while it lasts! School is about to end which will add to the realm of possibilities with the family for the Summer. We have considered going for a road trip but have not planned it so far but options will become interesting as the world also adjusts in the coming weeks.

I do not know what the future will bring but the fact that I have been able to enjoy this phase in history and my life is already something to be grateful about given some stories we hear not too far away. It is tough to see friends and family struggle through the same process we enjoy but I try to help anyway I can although sometime it is not enough. My only takeaway so far has been to always strive to be prepared and we never know what the next challenge will be for us personally and collectively.
