What do you
really need?
What do you
really want?
What are you
able to live without?
The new
normal.
I admit that
I have struggled a bit this week. I can’t
remember the last time I was off my property…which is OK by me, really, its
just that I can’t remember. Since we are
now considered “elderly” (which was a shock), I have been playing it very
safe. At least, I think so. I am so grateful to our neighbors and our
daughter for doing their utmost to keep us healthy and watching out for our
well-being, getting our groceries and supplies, and including us in their runs
for take-out food.
When we look
back on this time, we will have learned much about ourselves, as individuals,
as family and as citizens. What do we
want, need and can live without? I bet most of us have a list starting to
develop in our heads already. Way too
much food has been kept and thrown out in this house over the years. Way too many clothes and “niceties”. Far too many snacks. Not enough parties, not enough cook-outs. Not
enough Isopropyl Alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide.
Not enough Lysol spray – I’ll never be caught short again.
Not enough
contact with those I love. Too many days
and weeks go by without an “I love you” or even “just checking in”.
Checking in,
guys. Hope you are well, hope you stay well and I love you.
