What Now? Facing Life Without the Entertainment World

Virus spreads around the globe,

prompting more people to hunker down at home.

What are we gonna do now, read books?

Exactly.

I’m happy snug on my couch,

catching up on reading.

Just started Love in the Time of Cholera;

It seemed appropriate.

Out doing something,

time in the mountains,

exercising as long as I want to,

sunshine and exercise

will help us be as healthy as we can be.

Working more,

doing it from home.

Home improvement goals

are now on front burners.

Time to relax,

evenings freed up.

Learning to make macarons,

making a present,

knitting;

It’s all about slowing down.

Almost feels guilty...

almost.
