Home Alone

I am staying in place as the world wide pandemic marches on.  I am also home alone.  To add insult to injury I injured my hip in January and had to stay home to let it heal.  I was just ready to go out and about when the pandemic struck.  I am one of the age groups at risk so home I am.  I am lucky in that I have two sons here and they are doing the shopping for me.  When they come over we meet in the garage with the door open and stay 6 feet apart keeping our social distance.  I am trying very hard not to look at how long this will last.  I quit watching the news channels early because they were so doom and gloom and I go really upset.  Now I have quit watching the local channels and the network national news for the same reason.  It is hard to stay positive.  Even harder to make sure I have something to occupy my time and my mind.  As one of my meditations says "The mind never stops so we have to find something for it to focus on to help stay calm".  More tomorrow.
