In the 70’s…
I’m turning 73, a good age all in all. I do not think of myself as old, older, yes. But finding myself and hubby classified as at risk in view of the COVID-19 virus has definitely given me pause. Let me say right off, we are definitely taking all precautions as directed, and given that, staying home is feeling kinda good.
But it has caused a shift in my awareness. It’s a bit like saying, “oh yeah, that is true. I am over 70. I need to pay attention.” So I am.
This is a time when taking care of ourselves is not selfish or indulgent, but very important. It is doing our part to fight this virus to the best of our abilities. I am thinking of this big time out as a way to slow down, regain some equilibrium, recoup and refresh, and savor the simple, precious things in life.

Sausage Sunday…
Maybe martinis?
A snap shot from a while ago…
Whatever “rings your chimes,” whatever makes you smile or laugh, whatever takes you to another place and time (this morning I was having “deep” thoughts about geology and continental shift—don’t ask why because I just think about what shows up…) anyway, whatever it is, it is yours to do.
Let’s keep on keeping on! Peace and hugs to you all.
Back at you!:)
Cheers to you! 💛
I am now in my 80s and am taking no chances. Doing a lot of hand stitching. I have lost my mojo for making an art quilt. The exhibits that I have been juried into are all canceled for the foreseeable future! I need to order some yarn and get back to knitting!! Take care!
I’m glad to hear you are taking care of yourself. Mojo comes and goes and changes forms from my point of view, while making is always a good thing to do. I’m making biscuits later today, but knitting and watching the Creature From The Black Lagoon—sounds good right now. 💛
Savoring the simple things, yes, it’s one of the best things to do now. Some of the simple things in your world are the same in ours, like the lovely pansy. And some are different. Round sausages? Unheard of!
What a beautiful, tranquil ocean and translucent blue sky.
I had to laugh with you about the sausage “patties”. That’s what we call them over here—country sausage to be exact, seasoned with sage. Sometimes we get the spicy peppery style. We are flexible on that….
Thanks for stopping by!💛
