When I Look Outside I See ...

When I look outside I see a beautiful day. I see purple ... white blossoms on trees. The sky is blue, sunny ... the air has warmed so, one can wear short sleeves. A beautiful day. I sit, watch tv monitoring happenings in our world. I pay close attention to the commercials. They advertise everything from cheap Life Insurance for seniors, to buying a new car, taking a cruise on a big, wonderful ship to some exotic place. I think to myself ... no one needs to be taking a cruise at this time. I'm sure the life insurance has new rules now since this novel virus has come into our life ... I bet it isn't cheap now if one went to check. Another thing ... a new car would be more realistic ... who knows ... one might get a big break on one. I'm looking out the window at my desk. The day looks so normal, wonderful ... it's deceptive because not only is our country sick, our world is sick ... literally. I'm so worried for all.

I can understand ... we have been staying home about 3 weeks now. We went out twice for a short time to get groceries. It's nice to meet you. Gloria

@oahuwriter We started about 3 weeks ago before the order to stay home begins Monday evening. We have been out twice to get the necessary things. I hope to go out once more to pick up things before it gets really bad ... I have a feeling we are just before all kinds of things to come.

@GrannyGee I look out my window and see some praying and standing at a distance from one another and some people wandering around.

Do you live in the city? We live in the countryside here. I pray you stay so safe.
