New Habits from COVID-19 and the New Normal

@johnbishop I have always been one to smile and be helpful when I can. Now I remain in my woman's cave and do not even want to watch the world go by outside. I am appreciative for all that the workers are doing and miss seeing them regularly-for now. I wonder if the workers at the grocery where I shop regularly are okay. Last time I was there the shoppers were wearing masks and being bold and rude. The employees were back to dealing with unappreciative customers. That was 2 weeks ago. I have not been anywhere since then. Now the criminals are those not wearing masks. Yes, the world is upside down-so it seems.

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.

Hi, @parus, Interesting how our isolation is causing us to react differently. While I like to smile and be helpful, too, I find not seeing others out and about in my neighborhood distressing. I agree that much of our world is upside down now and am feeling intense anger and frustration that our "esteemed" TX gov is considering "back-to-work-orders" in the next 2 weeks. Our state is reported to have the 10th largest number of virus cases per capita nation-wide and this bloke's "reason" is that "Texans like to work hard". Huh??? Really??? I'm off for another early stress relieving morning walk.
