"flatten the curve" of the Covid-19 virus, has cautioned us that we must move very slowly towards
our "new normal." Until scientists know more about the virus, a hasty reopening of the province
could lead to a new surge of transmissions.

Yesterday, I ordered 2 books from Hager Books in Vancouver. I browsed online and chose Life in the Garden by Penelope Lively and The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict. Next week, I will leave Richmond for the first time in 7 weeks to pick up the books. No browsing is allowed but I will have 2 new books to read.

a peaceful book |
Years ago, I attended an outdoor fitness class. We brought our own mats and hand weights, we walked, did some step exercises on curbs and climbed the stairs of the hospital parkade. I'm wondering, if a small group of 4 or 5 women could hire a trainer to lead such a group. I need peer
encouragement to exercise. With sunny days ahead, this would be a healthy and safe way to exercise.

This week, our minister shared communion on Youtube. I'm sure that it will be months before we can have gatherings of more than 50 people. We are coping, adapting, supporting each other and living in community although apart.
April has passed. I think that May will bring small changes in our lives. Hopefully, this week will bring fewer transmissions of the virus and allow a more people to return to their employment.
The corner of your desk is lovely - I can see why this is one of your sanctuary spots.
ReplyDeleteIt is comforting to have special areas set up in your home.
DeleteI've ordered that Penelope Lively book and several others from my favourite bookseller...
ReplyDeleteYour idea of creating sanctuary areas in your home appeals to me. We all need to find comfort where we can in these challenging times.
I'm looking forward to reading both books. I find that quiet spots and lovely images bring me comfort.
