New Habits from COVID-19 and the New Normal

I consider going to the grocery or a store my outing. Well, I did before my hibernation started. I went to a doctor on March 12 and haven't been anywhere since. I smile and talk to people wherever I go. I love it. I always have. That is my personality. I got it from my mom and dad. They were always friendly with everyone wherever they went. These people, in all walks of life, are just like you and I. They were all born into this world as darling, precious babies. Well, we all think our babies are the cutest, most adorable baby ever born, until our grandchildren are born. Anyway, what makes us all so different? I know some are born more affluent, some very, very poor. In the long run, we all have a heart. A heart that can love or hate. I chose to love. That's it.

@woogle. Good morning. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Seclusion “hibernation” tends to give birth (like my analogy?) to introspective thought. At least, for me it has. It’s funny how we all start out as infants; but from there. each of us take our own paths which form us throughout our lives. I wonder ,at times, if there is a “judgement” day how we will be seen. Judgement Day. is based on beliefs, I understand that. But just as a academic question. What will be seen as a good deed and what will be seen as not. We humans are given all these emotions (in our dna?) is it our quest to filter out the negativity? At the end of your life, are you internalizing your life, in a movie like fashion, viewing it? Critiquing/judging your own life? Just wondering.

One of the local grocery stores here offers ordering online (at this time free service) with a scheduled day and time to pick up. They deliver directly to one's car. You can't order everything (no deli section) and given the current state of affairs some items are not in stock, but all in all has been helpful.

Hi lioness.. Like you, I'm an introvert .. and am enjoying being home. There are so many fun and interesting things to do that I never have time to get bored or lonely. My son passed away mid March after years of sickness and isolation, and I did get to be with him the last couple of weeks of his life.. I'm grateful for that time, and also that he left on the very day the rest home locked folks out over the coronovirus.. My husband and I were able to return to our own home just a few days later. Now, most recently, our granddaughters other grandmother passed very suddenly, so Fred is with her for a week or so. Leaving me home alone... which I'm not minding at all, for the time being. Anyway, those two needed some time together, too.. Grandma sometimes gets in the way of their interacting.. She needs her grandpa right now, I think.. Blessings on you, and continue enjoying your life..

@hotfooted I'm so sorry about the passing of your son ,my condolences .I think it is easier for us introverted then those who are extroverts to be alone. I do alot of things here instead of in a group.Adult coloring I do then since our Dr. Building post my colorings up in lobby hope it brings a smile for a minute to others. All are activities are cancelled ☹️ right now but continue the in my room .I'm glad you got to spend time with your son take care your husband needs this time your right ,stay safe 🙏
