Icebergs and Pandemics

A neighbor today asked me how everything was going. I responded that everything is status quo "you know like floating on an iceberg during the pandemic!' An expression that holds so much reality in order to survive. Icebergs are known for 80 percent of their mass to be unseen below water. So when it comes to mental health and wellbeing take a minute to consider what lies beneath the surface. It is ok not to be ok and if others are behaving unusual maybe they need reassurance that not being ok is okay today. In this pandemic many of us have lost a friend, a neighbor, family or a love, and we have had to rise to a new level of coping without full closure. Maybe while we wait we learn to think about reunions as not something down the road but something done today. Technology is a double edge sword , make it work for your wellness today.
