Finally Some Greenery

In lieu of what is going on, I am grateful that I remained sane. The uncertainty of COVID-19 in the beginning caused me some anxiety but that gets brushed off with the idea that I have to be at work anyway. I feel that since the healthcare field is the only job I know how to do as an "employed" person, it grew me a thicker skin in certain situations. I just have to be mindful about how I choose to protect myself because obviously I cannot predict the actions of others. 

I am over wearing a mask but I understand that it is necessary. 

I had been living in NYC a little over seven months and Prospect Park is not too far. It is such a BEAUTIFUL park. It took an interest to participate in a protest at Grand Army Plaza to finally walk around the park. It is so green, so serene, and a lot of people are getting their fitness on by biking or running. I got inspired to run (haven't done it yet). In addition, it is so great to see a group of friends or family doing their own thing by having a picnic, hanging out, playing sports, etc..

Beautiful path!

Beautiful lake!

I definitely miss going to Central Park during my Sunday Manhattan walks with my better half's cousin but I am so thankful to have this nearby. The better half has wheels so it is definitely an easy access.

As the weather is now warm and often humid, icecream shops has my attention and I am grateful for them being open. My favorite kind of milkshakes are from chocolate icecream. The one I had recently from Ample Hills Creamery at Prospect Heights surpasses my previous favorite from Miami called Vicky's. Dark chocolate icecream that is so chocolatey and not overbearing with sweetness.

Milkshake around Prospect Heights.

I may be at the epicenter of the outbreak but I am so grateful to experience a life in NYC. I hope it gets better from here as the phases that are necessary so NYC can be open are getting evaluated.
