Another first for me today was the receipt of my first food meal program box complete with three meals. As a dietitian by profession, I've wanted to try one of these services for some time to give me an idea when people ask for my professional opinion. I was curious from a personal standpoint, too. I love to cook and try new recipes or develop my own. I felt that trying this service might give me some new recipe ideas. A friend provided me with a free voucher to try the weekly box. I'll let you all know how things go.
The focus today showed a very different way of interacting with others than would have been seen in in a single day just a few weeks ago. At most earlier in the year, I'd have had a face to face or phone meeting or chat and an evening check-in with friends on social media. Life has changed. I've learned to contact and connect with people in a different way. Granted the new ways take a lot of energy and effort as we learn to 'read a room' on screen -- something we learned to do as toddlers we now find ourselves challenged with re-learning the onscreen body language. It certainly is not the same as being in the same place as others.We can choose to avoid such newer ways to keep in touch or we can take the time and effort to learn to use the software as well as learn to communicate well with video platforms. I choose to learn, though based on the frenetic pace of the day, it did take way more energy than I thought it might.
The selection for the day fits so well with the current times and has lyrics that note that the changing situations can lead to learning new ways of living. The video for the selection uses a video chat platform to maintain distancing. The song gives me hope. Stay safe. Enjoy!
