Day 115

Here we are, still waiting for this crisis to be over. Not really knowing who to trust and unsure of what is fact or fabrication; accurate or embellished.

I never thought that events or situations in this country would be manipulated for political benefits.  In other countries maybe, but never here.

We elected persons to office who were going to serve in the best interests of the people.  They were never to be self-serving.

Spending time alone has given me more time to listen rather than speak.  And this time alone has allowed me to analyze, think and watch what other people are saying and doing. Is this good?  Time will tell, I suppose.

But, this self- semi-isolation has done one thing for me that I never expected.

Remember when we were kids, that Time took forever?  When we never thought our birthdays would come?  Or how impatient we were as we counted down the days for Christmas?

And remember when we realized that as we got older, the days just skipped by and became weeks, then months and then years in what seemed like a mini-second?  There weren't enough hours in a day and not enough time to do all we wanted to do.

Well, I'm finding that time has slowed down once again. There is no real point in rushing to get anything done, because the days are longer than before.

How did this happen?  Would it have happened anyway?

Ask us what day it is and notice that it takes a minute to answer...... because it doesn't matter.

Ask us what time it is and notice that we need to think before giving an answer.....because it doesn't matter.

Life is moving at a slower pace now and it gives us more time to smell the roses.  That's not a bad thing, is it?
