According to legend, King Solomon shared this with a sultan who requested a sentence that would always be true, in good time and in bad. His answer:

We are in quarantine here in Spain. A state of emergency. We are now in week 9, and happily there have been some relaxing of the lockdown over the last 2 weeks. Exercise and kids going out for a walk are now allowed.
When times are good: this too shall pass.
When times are difficult: this too shall pass.
Change is the only constant. Our ability to adapt is the question.
What I find hard: Letting go of the visions that I have had for this year… summer adventures, growth of our business, conferences that I love speaking at around the world… It is hard to let go of that life that I had planned and accept the life of Zoom calls and homeschool.
This last week I have hit a patch of unfocussed, unmotivated… a sense of groundhog day… days losing sense of which day it is and what happened last week or yesterday…
How are you coping? What’s going well? Where are you stuck?
