Carry On Sweet Girl And See the New Normal as Normal.

 Yesterday's jig saw puzzle that I completed  online. So pretty and meditational. It makes me want to fly away with this swallow tail butterfly. The butterflies in our yard have been spare this summer. We did have a swallow tail yesterday visit our gardens. The weather, the birds, flowers, and animals are off their schedules this strange summer of 2020. 

I have learnt to be more patient, quiet, and self dependent during this pandemic. There is little need to purchase things. We do purchase groceries, wine, and such. Clothing is on the bottom of the list. I don't dress in anything but hawaiian shirts,t shirts and shorts. Sock and shoes are very optional. I do wear my french knot sun hat hat outside. Most days, I just wear my summer bathrobe that is a blue and white kimono with butterflies on it. It is cool, collected,  and comfy.

I also have learnt about the friends that matter most to me. The ones who make me laugh, think, and are extremely kind.

We eat pretty simple foods. Lots of salads, lots of fruit smoothies with yogurt and lots of fish and other proteins. 

I have been practicing different manuel settings on my camera. I shoot less, throw out more and keep the best results. I am happy with what I shot. Mostly everything I shot is local. Very local. Why travel when it is safe, and beautiful in my own back yard.

My Yoga teacher has encouraged me to self practice yoga at home. I have blended some of my old back exercises but, do mostly yoga on my back and I am working on making my belly strong and small.

I am happier lately. The dark days of early self quarantine have passed. I take joy in nature all day long. 

So I carry on with my masks. and six feet apart and no museums, no trips and no real restaurant experiences.  I carry on with loving who I am and improving my health and my back. I carry on forward...what else is there to do?
