Lockdown 35

Lockdown Day 35 - 30 April 2020

To start something new means you need to let go of something. This applies to almost everything in life.  Being in Lockdown indefinitely (and this is basically what a leveled Lockdown means) has amped up this life truth. Not only are we looking at a different normal, but we are also letting go or mourning what was. 

I keep asking myself what I would've done if level 4 did not allow outdoor exercise. I would've been terribly upset, that's no lie. But I had no control, nor would I in future have any control over this. Áfter the tantrums I was going to stand before a choice. Choose a different approach or break the law and face the consequences. A different  perspective takes more blood sweat and tears than breaking the law. For people like me who have trouble changing course from what I believe to be the only way, it would've been a war. An inner battle which would poison my outer life. Fortunately it wasn't meant to be and I will be walking my dog tomorrow morning. But, because the control is not in my hands, I still need to adopt a different attitude from here on. I shall choose life daily, lift my praises to the heavens and take time to be with God, even if things are bad out there and humankind looks as if they're fighting a losing battle in a war nobody thinks is a war. 

War or not, I shall stay with God, because He is the only One who is the Way forward. And, He's really got this.
