Sometimes I feel like this doll
Jammed in a car handle, along for the ride.
Life in quarantine.
Along for the ride

My world came crashing down when my husband died. My journey back to a whole and happy life is recounted in this blog Lori Greer in Portland. It is not always easy but it is always worth it.

At first, there were a few.
Now I am finding more and more along walking paths, in our parks…places people might go for solace.
Finding them is a joy as I meander along.
Simple things.

Walking down an alley, I saw this request on a neighbor’s backyard fence.

The neighborhood felt less lonely. Continue reading “So I did!”

Have I been isolated too long??

Open arms…
Gosh, I would love to hug these little creatures and enjoy a warm embrace in return.
Cold metal. Brrr.
Social isolation is terrible. I see my friends on social media or from a safe distance.
I can’t give them a hug or sit beside them at lunch. Continue reading “Open arms…”

Social distancing
“A beautiful day in the neighborhood” to quote Mr. Rogers.
It is good for the soul and body to venture out.
Let’s all hang in there “together” as best we can to care for one another and especially those most vulnerable during these trying times.
