COVID Puzzle

What are you puzzling over in your life?

Most evenings, Bob and I work on a puzzle.
One end of dining table,
Covered with puzzle pieces.

New Challenges

What will you shift as cold weather settles in?
It’s not just when will temps drop
Rather, how soon constant below-freezing temps?

Break-Out Day

Cumulative COVID effects for me
Result in feeling nothing is possible.
What about you?

Food and Connection

So many things are out-of-usual, I find I’m looking forward to mealtime as a familiar event , almost ritual.

Reaching Out

Connecting with friends makes my heart happy! Realizing that all of us are figuring out the permutations Covid 19 has required in our lives, reminds me that I’m not alone in this.

Freedom Outdoors

I think I have rarely so appreciated
The freedom just outside my door—
Especially on my bike.

What rhymes with grumpy

Google gives me “grumpy” rhymes… Are all of those really words?

Mask Styling

Because you wear your mask
To protect me, as I wear mine to protect you, let me say a special THANK YOU!

Staying connected

“Connect with others” is one of my 5 Keys for saying “yes” to bigger things. Thank goodness for computers, email, cell phones, for keeping us connected.

Hooray for take-out

Life begins to “open up” again, yet for us, as seniors, taking precautions, much is still the same. One of the small pleasures of this time has been “take-out!”

Tend a Friend

Isolation. Loneliness. It’s a huge problem right now. “Connecting with others” is one of my 5 keys for a zest-filled life. So–what to do?

Biking for Inner Sunshine

Even without the extraordinary events of pandemic and protests, we all go through our dark days. And when you do, what do you do to counter it?
