Quarantine Diaries: Everyday

Lockdown is hard for so many reasons, for so many people and I've realised how much we take for granted everyday.
When being limited in time spent outdoors, a change of daily routine (My younger brother went literally nocturnal for a few days xD)or just completely messing up your future events schedule.

Lately I've been thinking about the beauty in everyday,
that you don't need to plan for big things to do something big.

It's important to delight in everyday things too, you can't just live from one plan to the next.
You need to be present here and now, not the past not the future.
Simple things like gardening, making art, cooking, cleaning (that relief of a clean and tidy room), journaling or listening to music.

I'm not saying don't reflect on your past or don't have future plans, life is about balance and if you neglect the present day you won't feel fulfilled. Don't always chase your future, let it come to you one day at a time.
