Lazy to Do

There is nothing that can slow time down or speed it up. The best we can do is accept that each day is an opportunity to spend time as we see fit. Stay busy, stay lazy... I choose lazy. Lazy to me is puttering in the garden, reading a good book, taking a walk, picking blueberries, or other leisurely activities. I've lived the busy life and now I choose the lazy life. I've earned it.

"I want people to see my natural and ordinary pace, however off the track it is.  I let myself go as I am.  My intention is to pass pleasantly, not laboriously, what life I have left." Montaigne, Essays

Better Safe Than Sorry

Pandemic 2019: If it's hard for you to stay home, pretend getting a call saying you've tested positive for Covid-19. Anyone you've been in contact with (including family and friends) could catch the virus from you and could die.  If you get sick will medical personnel help you or ask "Why didn't you stay home?" Don't put others in harm's way.

It's not the event that defines us, but rather the way we respond.

My World

Because I'm still staying at home due to the Coronavirus, my world, though small, is even smaller now. I feel like I'm caught in a reflection of what life was just a month ago.  I'm doing some work from home so that's good. I'm thankful that although I've lost BIG $$ in my investments I  have time for them to recover. I have food, a roof over my head, and a steady retirement income.  I'm able and glad to help others by making donations to my church food bank.

This situation will pass and how we cope will be forever remembered in history.
