What do you do with your day?

 As I was reading a  post by Caree Riscover called"Zoomitis", I found myself intrigued by the following sentence "When your wanderlust is unfulfilled and the conviviality of conversation with strangers is suspended, is it even possible to find the sparks that kindle excitement in daily life?"

Caree posts an interesting question about what daily life is like in this time of "new normal". This appears to be a question that a number of bloggers I read are asking and answering. In her post, Caree discusses some of the things she has done or is doing to fill her day. I can relate to some of what she described. I have digitized my old slides, started working on digitizing old picture albums, read some old books in my library, watched a lot of television, and found and listened to some great new radio stations. Another blogger I read who is not in good health, discussed her day, to quote Although this list is true, it is not meant to be overly serious. Try to see the humour. Her list is quite long and I only give a part of her day.

Life in COVID or suffering from a chronic disease is not easy, nor is it boring. When my children were young, and they said they were bored, I always said boredom is an internal mindset. So, I would tell them to change their mindset. For all of you who think you are STUCK at home, change your mindset to you're SAFE at home 

If you are in a rut, try to keep your own dignity - get out of your PJs!, form a structure for the day, and be grateful for what you have - shelter, home, possessions.

Finally, read, write, or do and be as creative as you can be and push your limits and be surprised by what you can do now.
