Random Thoughts & Musings From My Personal Quarantine

It is not that easy to stay home and keep calm at the same time.  I had a minor momentary melt down a little while ago when I suddenly was overwhelmed by this feeling of why?  Why bother?  It suddenly hit me that this might not end quickly.  That this is the new normal.  Well I don't like it.  But who am I to complain?  We are all in the same proverbial boat.  So I composed myself and here I am...thinking and musing in random fashion.

• What if this is nature's way of culling the herd, resetting the environment and establishing new rules?  A brutal way to do it, but no one ever said Nature is always kind or gentle.
• Online shopping is convenient I suppose and necessary in these time when we are not supposed to go forth into the wilderness to forage.  But really, it is not easy and seems much more time-consuming.
• Things do look bleaker when it's been raining for a few days.  Especially here in Southern California where we aren't used to cloudy skies and constant showers.
• You can isolate too much.  That's why we have phones,  the internet, social media and the US Post Office.  Video conferencing for social visits can be nice too.
• IMHO, I believe the outbreak of COVID 19 is a real wake up call.  We must take this opportunity to learn the lessons that are being presented every moment of every day.  We cannot go on the way we were headed.  Nature is angry and she's not going to take it any more.
• Some things just go on no matter what.  That's just the way it is.
• Thinking and musing can lead you to places in your soul you hadn't visited in some time.  It doesn't profit to let it scare you or get you down.  Listen. Observe.  But most of all, LEARN.
• And, yes, Scarlett, tomorrow is another day.
