It's a brand new day

I gave up writing a couple years ago. No support or ability to write in quiet time. Every once in awhile I get the urge again. Today it became apparent that I was never so content as when I was able to write. Now what am I going to do about it. Answer; flash fiction. If the urge sticks, I will read, study and make outlines. Time will tell.  

This from the man who calls himself ‘governor of the State of Florida’. Really.... how to you attend church service and stay six feet apart. Anyone take a picture of that, let me know. What are “Essential Activities?” Some of the essential activities that will be permitted during this statewide shutdown include: Attending religious services Going to grocery stores Going to gas stations Going to healthcare facilities Going to pharmacies Going to childcare centers Taking care of pets and caring for or otherwise assisting a loved one or friend

The statistics are gruesome. We feel that this virus will get us, no matter what we do. We ARE doing everything we were told to do. I clan tell you now, if we get it ,it will be a death sentence for us both. Because we are symbiotic if one of us gets it the other one will. The hospitals will finish off the job.   My only consolation is, we will not leave a survivor. We are not afraid to die, but it is not something we are looking forward to. If it is my family who reads this and has survived, please know that I wish you well and much happiness. Keep in mind that the world situation is cyclical. And that each one of us as humans is only a passing piece of dust in the grand scheme of the universe. What is most important thing is how you perceive your reason for being here, and how you spend your time as a participant of the body you occupy.

I am not a Christian or a believer in the fantasy of the Bible so it could be said that I do not believe these times we live in are ‘BIBLICAL’. but I do believe they were foreseen, but ignored. It’s my belief that if you voted for this president, you are no better than he is. Don’t give the excuse that he is a leopard that can he change his spots. He can’t and the signs were all there and you ignored them, and now he is laughing at you. So suck it up and get rid of the disease while we have the chance to repair the damage. Listening to him speak, and that can be painful, the sound of his ignorance and lack of intelligence is obvious/. He was suppose to be the cure, but the illness is destroying us.

My best friend and soul mate tells me her father had many sayings he cherished. One of them being ‘Don’t take life seriously, you won’t get out of it alive.’ I believe too many of us have forgot how to laugh. Especially at ourselves. I have tried for years to find out what I am good at. I have tried many things and succeeded at none. I don’t know what makes me happy. And that is a sad tribute to my 73 years on this earth. I have, however come to terms with my mortality and have been studying the teachings of Buddha and am at peace that I do not have to be a Mother Theresa to have worth. With the time I have left, no matter what that is, I will do everything in my power to laugh and have a good time everyday. If it doesn’t bring me joy, it’s not worth doing it.   It’s called living in the moment.

Since Jay has heart issues and we are both over 70, there was no other alternative than to hibernate. Most people are, even though our idiot governor won’t make it mandatory. I am sure he does not want to rile the president, since they are such good buddies. We are doing well. There is a full pantry and freezer. Starting to run out of fresh fruits and veggies, but we are managing nicely. Decided we would start some of our summer projects. It’s a great time for reflecting on life. Where we have been and what lies ahead.

I don't know if there is such a thing as a spirit guide or guardian angel. Call it what you want. I do believe there is a right time for everything and this must be my time to right my novel. The work is progressing nicely and I have the groundwork laid. I feel good about where I am and look forward to passing along progress reports. I had all these thoughts about what would happen when I went public on FB with my anthology.  How ironic that only two people acknowledged my post and only one downloaded the ebook.  That being my niece. It will be interesting to see if she actually reads it and had feedback for me.
