I have a really small family and I've recently lost a dear family member to cancer. I've been reflecting on his death and my own mortality. Maybe it's the age I'm at combined with his death that has me thinking? I'm starting to realize that I may have less in front of me that behind. No one knows how long we have on this earth and I get that. However it seems that with everything happening in the world right now it's really hitting me.
Over the past month I've been retreating inside myself. I've had a hard time reaching out to people that aren't my immediate family. This isn't normal for me as I'm a very extreverted person or at least I used to think so.
I know what I need to do and I've been telling myself that I need to get started. I just haven't been able to do it. Sifu Brinker wrote a recent blog that has been bouncing around in my head. I've allowed this pandemic to both defined me and revealed who perhaps I really am inside.
I'm not liking what I'm seeing in the mirror right now.
