Not Normal

This morning I thought about how nothing was normal when I quit smoking How it seemed my life as I know it was all screwed up. I was a ass and angry at everything.  I wanted to smoke

Things are not normal again and screwed up but I'm not angry I try to remain hopeful but I will admit I was feeling down for a couple few but smoking never entered my mind

I do fell sorry for those who have no one to help them.

I feel bad for those of us who have compromised health issues and according to the government elderly

I am grateful for all those who are social distancing 

I feel sorry the most for the self centered people who refuse to comply They have no respect for anyone not even themselves. Yet my anger towards them is very much their 

Yes things are not normal around here but good things still exist 

 I haven't had shoes or sox on since Monday early afternoon when Joyce and I picked up prescriptions from drive thru. 

Yesterday was the first time I cut my grass in March and ahead of my neighbors. I was actually excited to cut it

Lots of new face walking yesterday Neighbors I never met before stopping and talking (yes from a distance)

A lot of neighbors sitting out on front porches. 2 closer neighbors said Hi to each other for the first time that I can

remember.

A neighbor left a blackberry blueberry pie on our porch

Joyce is trying online grocery shopping at our nearest grocery store. She placed order on Tuesday  We pick our order up Saturday evening They bring it to your car and load it. I'm not real thrilled with the idea of it but will try it. Right now Joyce and I are consider it as a date night 

My sons, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and granddaughter all communicate From Texas, New Mexico, Colorado

Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and North Carolina every couple days

Will life be different after the pandemic I believe so and I'm hopeful for the good

Stay Safe, Stay Strong, Stay Hopeful and Enjoy
