Lockdown and Introverts

A blog friend I follow said that this time was perfect for Introverts!  That is so true.  I am enjoying being at home, pottering about, reading, watching nature and just being silent.  The only thing I miss is not being able to visit my daughter and family who live only around 2 hours away. 
I exercise using YouTube, as I have almost always done, I take my dogs out for a walk and that is possible because I am privileged to live in a gated community which is largely made up of extended family; I chat with my kids abroad online, as I would be doing anyway.  But the best part is not having to get dressed up to go for any kind of social functions!  That is really bliss.  I suppose though, that even I might feel like dressing up after maybe another 2 to 3 months of this!  At present though, I am enjoying my downtime.  May you enjoy yours.

Viruses respect no one.

Once again nature shows us humans--who think that they are God's gift to the world--how helpless we really are when nature decides to get going.  Here is a virus going around and spreading all over the world and killing many and all of humanity watches and hopes that they and their loved ones won't be among those who get ill.
In the midst of this danger, I do wish we would all really come to appreciate our common humanity.  Whatever the colour of our skin, whatever religion we profess, whatever party we might support, whatever caste, we belong to, whatever our economic status, the virus can catch any of us and the people who die, die irrespective of these divisions that people have made.
