The Virus - Day 19 - Friday - with add-on

The day count.. is on, off, relevant, irrelevant... whatever  -- but it does sort of keep me grounded on the subject.

Today I sent a short message of to a friend... And I think I will send it to a bunch of people... Simply it is;

"Resilience and Patience...."

Those are two qualities to develop and/or maintain. These are difficult times and unknown times. We don't know certain things, we think some terrible things, we worry, we hope, we are anxious, we are ok now...  SO - if we can patiently wait and see what happens and then are flexible and strong in our responses -- we have a good chance, I hope, of coming through all this ok. Only OK? Maybe only ok...

And OK is OK....  For so long so many have thought - who wins, who loses... let me be the winner -- who cares about the loser... AND now maybe we see we are all in this together. REALLY.... If I don't get The Virus .. someone I know may. If death doesn't come from The Virus .. well - death does come to us all -- and if lots of sudden, premature deaths from The Virus come - we will all suffer. REALLY. While some suffering will be at a distance for some .. with a lot of suffering all around the consequences are wild and crazy!

And that is my thought this morning... at about 10am... Maybe more later....

============================================

So .. it is now about 2pm... and I had a thought - after a walk, reading, early morning Rotary meeting and more reading... MAYBE I am quietly boring... A closet couch potato... I am less productive then many others.. I like to read and watch films and tv shows. Walking is nice but has not been habitual til now (since the gyms are closed). I do some sit-ups and stretches and need to do more... AND this blogging and maybe some other writing will become more of a habit. I NEED MY BICYCLE... and maybe get into that as a "hobby".  I miss the gym.

I also miss cooking... and maybe that will improve, so to speak, after or as part of Passover. Deanne does the cooking now so very well and her kitchen is hard for me to work in.. We will see about this.

And maybe I shall get into meditation again. (adding cushion to stuff to bring from home).

This staying away from my home is interestingly focusing me on what do I want and need... REALLY.. A silver lining to The Virus?
