While we are all on isolation, each one of us has our own stories to share, both serious and funny on virtual communication during this period of social distancing. What I appreciate the most are private group chats and private messages. You see, I grew up under the generation of fax machines and analog telephones. I feel grateful that in this time and age, technology allows us to obtain information while keeping in touch with family and friends living far away.  

Nobody's perfect.  We do not live a zero-waste lifestyle yet.  It takes time and a conscious effort to adjust.  The most important thing to ask is why we want to do it.

Why do I want to reduce waste at home?

Since having moved to the countryside, we started improving ways our family manages household waste because our garbage truck passes only once a week, so we had to find ways to avoid a pile up of smelly garbage. 

Spending more time at home nowadays is the trend.  What about catching up on home decorating projects  with existing home accessories in your storage room?

What?!?  It's already Thursday?  Oh dear, 2020 feels like someone just pulled up from behind, kicked us several times by the b*ms while docking behind left unseen.  With catastrophic events unfolding and stirring up a sense  of anxiety and confusion everywhere, it's a challenge to see the silver lining lately.

The only thing I could hold on to is faith and hope for whatever optimism we have left be preserved. 

Life is volatile. To savor time  honed into what we value most in life  and being present is the best way to honor ourselves and those precious to us.
