"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.....and stupid. We should be scared shitless of stupid."

      I need lighthearted memes and quotes after reading the morning news these days.

The new normal

     Empty playgrounds blocked off by caution tape are the new normal.  I didn't see a single child out today and only 3 adults walking dogs. It is a good thing.  Coloradans are taking the stay at home order very seriously.  I miss the old normal, though.
      I've been drifting aimlessly lately....binging on Netflix losing track of time and days. It is time to change.

We are...

Good Morning, Beautiful!

     In some ways the world is still normal and beautiful.  I am so lucky to get so close.

Two sides

Here is an excellent Covid 19 CDC video on Pandemics, History and Prevention.  It runs 57 minutes. Please become vegan.

and then

"When you can't see the path before you, look to the people beside you."

     My county issued a stay at home order, today.  That won't change my life at all as I'm already doing it.  Accompanying the order was a great quote which I shared above.

It is eerie out.  I just walked my dog.  NO ONE is out.  No walkers or joggers or even any cars.
                       

                                       Me, this past week.

     So enough stress eating and binge watching Netflix.....the sun is shining, I got outside with my dog, the parks are full of hiking families.  I will watch zero news or social media to save my sanity this week, and will eat better.  I will be staying home.  That's my plan. What's yours?

Thanks, I needed this.

Truth!

Happy international women's day

     It feels like spring in suburbia.  There are colorful pelotons of cyclists speeding by, for sale signs are springing up in yards, and there is the echo of woodpeckers hammering on the siding of neighborhood homes. It is getting difficult to find sufficiently deep patches of snow for my dog to roll in, something she loves and I appreciate, also, as it gets the mud off.
     I am realizing my dog is aging.  She enjoys slow strolls where she can sniff and mark her place in the world. Running is no longer for her. So now we walk and do what gives her joy.

     This is an amazing memoir of Amaryllis Fox's 10 years in the CIA's clandestine ops unit. She writes well and is a peacemaker at heart, which makes the CIA seem less onerous.  It is a good read.
