On the positive side, this dreadful virus might be showing us that societies that value the community do best and we'd be wise to follow that path. <br /><br />On the other positive side I just published my iso-project, an illustrated children's book for 3-8 year olds. On the Wings of an Albatross, an A-Z of Australian and New Zealand birds. Unfortunately Amazon are not shipping to Australia at the moment so I'll have to make do with the eBook version for now. <br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Wings-Albatross-Z-Australian-Zealand-ebook/dp/B08BWJD9RTElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291178011233997483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-31307667608439175012020-06-30T13:04:57.745-07:002020-06-30T13:04:57.745-07:00I miss the pot lucks at my art group and meeting i...I miss the pot lucks at my art group and meeting in person once a week on Thursdays for art coffee and great conversation IN PERSON. I miss going TO the library and spending an hour or two in the stacks. (Our library is open but we won’t go indoors right now.) I am missing being able to drive to our son’s Loft, walk around town, get on the light rail and go into Phoenix for a new restaurant and hanging out later around Tempe Lake. I miss the Hale Theater, I miss all the little thrift stores I visited, and craft supplies shops where I whiled away some private time while My husband worked part time.HE misses working part time, he is a chiropractor and it’s too up close and personal, we are over 65 and many of our patients are travelers, etc..so, he may really be retired for a while. I MISS TRAVELING! <br /><br />On the bright side, I am SO GRATEFUL we have a pool with a waterfall and lovely back patio area I can relax in,swim,read,happy hour.Soooo grateful for ZOOM and friends who will meet with me on regular basis.Glad my BOOKCLUB moderator is keeping us all on our toes with a ZOOM bookclub. Grateful I CAN exercise: I have a treadmill, many youtube videos saved, a bike, a pool, and we can walk in the big beautiful parks all close to home.<br /><br />AM grateful we have no pre existing conditions, no meds, good immune systems, so we feel we have a good shot at weathering this storm (tsunami is more like it..)..and recover if we do get sick.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. We’re all in this together....

And I am eternally grateful that I don't have to worry about lost income, being retired.

And like you, we have much to be thankful for: we're not front-line workers, we haven't lost a job or income, we get to self-isolate in a decent home in a nice neighborhood, and so far at least we're not sick.
