It's Time To Be Normal At Home In Our Own Little World ...

I am looking outside at the beautiful day ... sun shining brightly, a slight breeze. Nice! I have a project in mind to do with old bricks I have outside in a pile. I really hope it all turns out like in my mind. If so, I'll take a photo to share. Our Kissy had surgery on his right back leg several years ago. Sometimes ... when he gets up I can tell he feels it now. He is getting older even if he still acts like a puppy. We have steps he has to go down and back up when he goes out on the little porch ... it takes him out into the fenced-in yard. It hurts his back legs ... they hit the ground a little too hard. I don't like that. Over time it could cause him problems. So, I'm going to build up with bricks to make it easier for him. I know I have to do in a tight, secure way. I'm thinking I may have to get some cement in a bag. Do you have projects you have in mind to do during this time? I also, want to keep my promise on painting a big rock that is the headstone for our friend's dog that died. I have her name on it ... now, I want to paint a heart with a sunflower. I'll also, take photos when I accomplish that. I want to begin rearranging the house again. I have a lot to do ... I just needed to feel better from all of this to feel motivated. I have felt so much more myself for the past week. I think like everyone ... we've all been in a shock, stunned by how our world has changed ... all that has been, is happening. It's time to be normal again at home in our own little world even if we can't be when out from home. For a time my Heart just wasn't in doing anything more than keeping all just neat enough so it wouldn't drive me crazy. Now ... it's time. It's time to act as if all is normal at home where it is normal. That way when all is alright again ... we will be ready to enjoy living outside the home again.

I like the sound of your project. I've been drifting from one small thing to another, but things are getting achieved slowly.

@GrannyGee sometimes it's easier to stay positive than others.

@valmnz I am positive most of the time ... lately though I've felt 'the pain of the world' and let it pull me down. I'm positive even when I don't feel it sometimes.

Thank you. I've been feeling sad and haven't worked on my projects. Tomorrow is a new day and I want to get out of the sad mood I've been in. I worry about people I don't know and what our whole world is experiencing.

That’s really cool that you’re doing that, and I hope your dog feels better soon. Today I need to get out of bed but I don’t wanna. I have done some craft stuff but nothing worth sharing because they look awful.

Hubby has been doing all sorts of projects. I have been a lump. I have many things I could be doing and normally I love being home. So time to stop making excuses!

I am going to have to begin too ... I have been trying to inspire myself. I'm normally a positive person and I find myself getting down now because of how sick our world has been, is. Maybe it affects you like that too.

@GrannyGee Yes. It is a big worry. But best to find a way to be productive or I feel worse.
