Ok, so I have been following Hawaii’s “stay at home” orders for 8 weeks now. You would think I would have a lot of art to show for all that time. Nope. . . . .it took me at least 4 weeks to get my depression, fear and doomsday attitude under control (sort of). It took a lot of phone visits with my therapist, prayer, meditation and sleep for me to finally realize that the whole world just might not become extinct due to COVID-19. And then I started to create a little again. But it has been hard, the news of new cases and deaths has been heartbreaking. I honestly don’t know what the new normal will look like. In the meantime, I will continue to don my mask, only go out when necessary and stay 6 feet apart from everyone.
