ANAABU: SANTAI
November 2020
INTRODUCTION
Let’s be honest; this semi-lockdown life is driving us nuts. Working from home used to be a dream… until everyone is stuck inside, turning that dream into a nightmare. Unable to physically explore the world for new inspiration and fresh air. When was the last time we went on a vacation? Was it last year? Wait- what happened to this year? It feels like we’ve achieved nothing. Yet so many things are being fed into our minds every single day. On television and on the internet- they just go on and on. So many announcements, news, numbers, dos and don’ts to catch up on. Sometimes we get overwhelmed by the anxiety, other times we feel completely empty- it’s draining.
Seriously though, we need to pause. Stop. Take a long, deep breath.
Focus on counting our blessings instead of what we’re losing.
Yes, maybe we’re losing a lot through this pandemic, but we’re not alone. Friends and families are on the other side of the screen, and that is so much better than having nobody. Oh, how we miss the outdoors. How we miss the island, the beach, the barefoot walk on golden sands, the cool breeze kissing our skin… but you know what? They’re still there. They’re not going anywhere. It’s not the end of the world. We just have to stay patient, and hopeful, and brave through this whirlwind together. Do we really need a vacation? No. What we need, is a safe haven called home. A hideaway that gives us comfort and warmth.
In this time of a million uncertainties, home is our only shelter and sanctuary. Our only escape and retreat. And right now, thank God, we have it. More than ever. So let’s make the best of this break. Rest and relax. Try those recipes you’ve been watching on Tasty. Start on those crafty projects you’ve been saving on Pinterest since forever. Pick up where you left off on Netflix. Scroll down Spotify for songs that make you travel. Read a book. Catch up on lost sleep. Be at ease. And put your trust on The One who ease everything.
