Sunrise

The other morning I woke up to the most exquisite sunrise. Its been cold and gloomy here lately on the lake, and so this was such a nice surprise. I am not a sun worshiper, but I do like warm weather. I don't like the cold either. I like snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas day then I want it to be warm. It's been crazy here at the lake. Its almost May and we've had warm days cold days and then snow showers. Being asked to stay home in order to be safe from this virus is getting depressing so to wake up to a beautiful sunrise gave me hope. Looking forward for warmer days to come, where even if I have to stay home I can sit outside enjoy the sun, and work in my garden.

The Pandemic of 2020

Back in March a virus hit the world. The coronavirus stopped everything in its tracks. We were asked to stay home, no more than 10 people in a gathering, stand at least 6 ft apart. Schools were closed and not expected to re-open,Church services cancelled, businesses closed unless they were essential. Panic yes. People stocking up on face masks, gloves toilet paper. Grocery store shelves bare. Restraunts closing and only doing carry out and eventually curb side only pick up. Banks closing and only using drive thru. It was like something you'd see in a movie. Every day President Trump and his task force hold updates. Scary yes the amount of cases keep climbing the deaths so sad. So far in my county there have been only 2 cases, but I suspect that will change.
I know eventually this will pass the cases will slow down and we will get back to normal, or maybe not. I wonder what it will be like when this is all over, Will people continue ordering groceries to be delivered, will we not gather in groups like we used to, will we fear hugging our loved ones? Will this be like the flu and come back every year, will we need to get a shot every year like we do for the flu and pneumonia and will that even protect us.
Am I tired of being stuck at home yes but I stay put to be safe.
