Now that I've cleared quarantine and cases are continuing to rise even in rural areas, I decided it was time for me to take over the shopping duties, rather than letting my at-risk senior mother keep doing it. Fortunately, our local stores and grocery have expanded their shopping options to include ordering online and receiving curbside car delivery for everything from electronics to groceries! What a wonderful world for someone like me who hates going into stores to shop anyway!
A few of the books that have kept me grounded, healthy, and in a good mindset during this are all focused on growth and embracing the past while still moving toward the future.
I was hoping that I would be able to catch a few meteor showers under the clear and dark skies of the rural Michigan neighborhood, but instead I simply had a chance to enjoy stargazing from my hammock at night, but only until it got too cold and I needed to go back in again.
Observing myself and remembering what this time feels like in all of its rawness and realities. I definitely thought I was going to be more productive than I have been. It's quite surreal how some people like essential workers are busier than they've ever been, while other people are facing the reality of "doing nothing" every day, and yet some feel like work is just continuing as normal, while others are needing to adjust to entirely different ways of working online from home. This experience is quite different for everyone, and I'm really curious how the impact of this time will play out over the next decade and more.
This week I got to celebrate some of the first bulbs of spring popping up in the yard- so I'll take any little moment of joy that I can get.
Sales of my book continue to trickle in slowly during quarantine, and for all those people making tons of masks, I really hope this helps them come out the other end feeling compensated for all of their time and efforts. Unfortunately the shipping times are lagging quite a bit, even since the fires in Australia in January, so hopefully no one needs anything urgently.
