Just Do It.

I started this blog by trying to come up with a title and then just start writing from there. This is where it all fell apart as I had a myriad of ideas going through my head but emotion has got the best of me and now I cant focus on anything. To say the least, this has been a crazy few weeks for me and the uncertainty of what is to come is weighing on my mind. I am also concerned for September as she is alone at home, dealing with everything and I can only offer support via texts and one 15 minute phone call a day. Try getting in all your daily conversation with someone in 15 minutes. Think about how you would do it with everyone you know. I have not been able to figure out how yet.

I have missed most of the Covid crisis as I have been away for work for the last 4+ weeks with a total of 22 hours at home. Because of this, I dont know the struggles everyone is faced with on a daily basis. The one thing that I looked forward to was being able to go back to the Kwoon and just be in the moment there. This brought a sense of normalcy back to my life however this will not be happening for a while. The big question is what to do now. Even though I do spend a lot of time away, I always had the opportunity to reconnect but I am unsure how I personally am going to adapt to this situation.

It is easy to say, I can continue to work on things on my own but it is not something that I have actually ever done. I hope that I will be able to overcome this new challenge as many of us probably are. Like Mr. Repay stated in his blog, I know what I need to do I just need to do it. I think this will be my title.

I am currently on the mine site in Nunavut and there is a lot of uncertainty up here as well. Will the mine stay open? What will the schedule change to as they are going to start limiting flights in and out? How long will I be here? All questions that no one has the answer to and no idea when some answers will come.

In all this I am still grateful for what I have and for who I have in my life. No matter what happens with my work, I know that I will be okay. Who I am concerned about is the other people in my life as they are what is truly important. My family, my friends and the people of Silent River Kung Fu.
