New Normal

New Normal

If the pandemic taught us anything it was how to adjust to a new normal. Well I am kind of grateful for those lessons because now I am finding myself adjusting to a new normal.

Most people that know me, know I am most likely not going to wait for someone else when I need something done and that I like things a certain way. Well let me tell you, that has been a big adjustment. I often struggle with asking or accepting help, especially when I feel I should be capable. I have had to realize that it is ok to let my walls down a little. And surprisingly people have been really open about the help and support.

These days, my body often tells me I need to lay down but then I also look at the table or floors that need to be cleaned and the battle ensues. I have say to myself, Sis them floors ain’t going no where, go on ahead and take that nap. Or now I can no longer wait until I ran out of underclothes to do laundry because I can’t carry that big of a load up/down all these flights of stairs. I also found that I could only do some of my Christmas decorations this year because they required some height and I have apparently been banned from getting on the step ladder. Imagine the adjustment I had to make

I am very grateful for the lessons now because I know that my expectations of self or getting things done by certain time, my abilities, and my will to want to do it on my own will drastically change once baby girl is here. So for now, I will continue to adjust to my new normal and enjoy the ride its taking me on
