I've been away because I couldn't contribute without commenting on the state of our country and I can't comment without going off the rails. I thought of that lovely old song, and how I feel in confinement. All my needs are met under my roof, I'm well, and I find many ways to occupy my time. I miss hugging friends and going about a normal routine, but "I'm warned to wear a mask and social distance". In some dystopian world, life-of-the-lowest order is going on "out there" and I, personally am horrified and broken-hearted that my beautiful country is being torn to shreds. I hope I haven't offended anyone...I wouldn't want to be taken for one of them.
A wonderful way to illustrate the current situation. I think many of us are feeling just like you are. In South Africa it's law to wear at least a cloth mask when away from your home. There is a ban on the sale of alcohol and tabacco products. Plus many other rules that need to be abided by. Thankfully both my husband and I work from home so it's much easier to socially distance oneself. One could go on and on about the regulations but sadly all it does is create negativity in your own head. Take care and stay safe Louise
A powerful image and narrative. I feel for you as I am in the same boat. Just wishing that we all stay safe and this nightmare ends rather sooner than later.
stay safe Louise and Ken.......I am so grateful to be in Australia.......I have whinged about our PM on occasion but am at the same time I am so glad we have him and not that other :(
A very powerful image depicting this pandemic! If we all take the responsibility to act sensibly we should get through this disaster. We all need to stay safe :)
In Maine we quarantined for a month and then very slowly reopened (haven't fully yet) I can go for rides, sit in the backyard with family, and eat outside at restaurants (inside at some but that doesn't interest me) I wear a mask when I go to the grocery store and other things like that but not so much when I walk at No 1 Pond because the few people we see stay away. And so far no one in my group of friends or family have contracted this so I consider myself lucky, I hope that most of us can act rationally so that we might conquer this in time.
Confinement is difficult when you're so used to freedom but I'm trying to believe that something good will come from this, it's tough though some days!
Stay well and keep looking forward to all those hugs 🤗
Wow so powerful Louise with many messages on different levels. The feeling of frustration is building with so many people ignoring the rules and being completely selfish!! I wish everyone could practice kindness!! Such a scary world we are living in with no light at the end of the dark tunnel!! Take care dear friend and stay safe! Big hugs to you and Ken xxx
Superb image, it says so much, as do your words. It's a tough old time in so many countries around the world right now, but as I always say "you can only walk in your shoes." And right now it hurts your heart to see what's happening around you. Ache for you, dear friend. Sending you lots of love across the ocean as always. I owe you an email.....will get there soon!
Stay strong and safe Louise
