today, Earth Day 50, I’ve spent time thinking about our world and how blessed we are to be here…

and how this virus, which has made us all stay home, has given the earth a chance to rest and start recovering from all the grief we have given it…

in my little corner of the world, I spent time watching the birds and squirrels at the bird feeders… after I refilled them…

and also was able to spend some time on the deck in the garden, enjoying the balmy weather…

I’ve been thinking of a few small changes I’ve made at home… the one I am most pleased about is using cloth instead of paper towels… I put away the paper towel holder shortly after arriving back home in January… I’ve been using extra hand towels and facecloths and have a bin for the used ones on the kitchen counter… it has been amazingly simple and is encouraging me to see what other small, but helpful changes I can make…

I went grocery shopping this morning…

I was almost out of tea and spinach and decided that today would be quieter (with less people) in the grocery store, rather that on the weekend…

while there I wondered whether I should keep my gloves on when pushing the cart… I tried to stay away from other people in the aisles… I picked up items with just a few fingers, and wondered how many people had punched in their codes at the credit card terminal…

as soon as I got home I hurried into the bathroom and washed my hands…

I could not believe how stressful the whole thing was…

brought home a pot of Spring flowers to help make the kitchen a brighter place…

planning to stay home for the next while unless really needed;-(…

ache, big girl pants, healthy, hot tub, neck, propped up, sleeping, virus, widow

for weeks I was having trouble sleeping…

I think I had a virus which caused an ache in my neck that really made laying down in bed painful… a number of colleagues had mentioned similar issues…

it went on and on… some nights I barely slept… other nights I would wake up ten or twelve times… even went out to the hot tub in the middle of the night and took the odd drug, which clearly shows how bad I was feeling, lol… none of which worked by the way…

for the last few days I’ve been able to sleep without being propped up in the bed…

and I hadn’t even realized it, lol… a reminder of how quickly we can forget when we weren’t feeling well… but great to realize how good being healthy makes you feel…

getting a good night’s sleep is so beneficial to everything else you do…

so happy to be over whatever it was…
