While spending three hours this morning in a 40x60 foot outdoor space, I was never closer than six feet to either of my fellow garden toilers. I am now home reading about all the places we should not be going for the next two weeks.
No restaurants; order in or cook.
No movie theaters; streaming instead.
No parties or play dates; enjoy your family.
No shopping malls; shop online.
No museums. No plays.
No dances. No night clubs.
No school. No church. No clubs. No meetings.
Let’s all practice being introverts! Bring out the puzzles, the board games, the novels, and the home projects. Find those old embroidery kits, or your knitting needles. Remember how you used to paint? Call long lost relatives or a favorite old friend. Tackle that kitchen drawer. Snooze with your pets.
Here comes my cozy cat, right on cue.
Day 1 is in the books-- fingers crossed we can maintain a positive attitude over the coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteWhether a morning in the garden or an afternoon hike, getting outside when we can might be the key to this whole operation.
DeleteI think many lessons will be learned during this crisis, espcially learning how to talk more deeply with those around us and finding the joy in the simple things like puzzles and games and even napping!
