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.

You've Got a Friend

The college is closed because of the Coronavirus so I guess I'm unemployed. Here I am in the house alone (I'm good with that) and all I see are the projects that I said I didn't have time for. I'm cleaning out clutter. Do I really need an owner's manual for a hot water heater that I haven't had for over 17 years?

Although I'll miss the human contact that work and church provide I'm reminded by this silly card, which I love, that friends come in all shapes, sizes, and species.

Splurge

I tend to be frugal although some would say miserly. But the thing is I have to be in the mood to spend money. And once I get started I just roll with it. So far this new year (and we're only in February) I've replace a 15 year old couch, 25 year old tables, 15 year old window treatments, and am working on having my master bathroom updated. One sunny afternoon I looked into my "new" den. The light was shining on my flowers. I thought "Wow! This is my favorite spot in the world." I am so grateful for and blessed with a quiet, simple life. I've made it to a healthy 65 so everything else is just gravy.

P.S. Every time I make I new post I look at Casey's page.  I miss her.
