Fear, sickness, sadness, anxiety, greed, hoarding, profiteering, rumor-mongering. It's all out there now. But so is:
QUIET
SOLITUDE
NATURE
REFLECTION
GENEROSITY
KINDNESS
I'm not sure what to make of it all. I know there is only so much of the TV, social media news I can handle. Like many others, I have no job...which for me equals zero interaction with anyone (except my dad).
I get outside for fresh air, but these are fearful steps. Not so much fear for my own health, but for my father. It's impossible to use any sort of delivery service, as all are booked up for weeks. The pick-up option at every grocery store within a 50 mile radius is also fully booked.
Of course I am perfectly capable of going into CVS or ShopRite. If it was just ME that would be fine. I worry for what I will bring home to my dad.
What distracts me? What keeps me "normal"?

My wonderful cats.
...and lots of knitting, to the point of boredom. I need to jump back into cross-stitching or working with felt. I find it difficult to keep my attention focused on any particular project for very long.
Stay safe my friends.
Stay strong💖💖
