Aren’t I lucky? I found a sequel to the book The Bark Cutters by Nicole Alexander called A Changing Land. It is as engrossing as the first book. How I wish I could find more of her books in the future.
You know one good thing that I appreciate being on quarantine for more than two months now? I am able to attend daily live streaming of masses online. We need to have a stronger faith in these times of uncertainties. We never know when everything goes back to normal again. We ask for the grace of strength and fidelity to you Lord. We ask for endurance in our daily battle with this pandemic.
I spent an hour in the garden very early this morning. The silence was unhampered by cars and motor vehicles passing by. How lovely it is to commune with nature when silence is all around. You are alone with your thoughts and sometimes, they are rich with things that you want to do, things you want to write about and things you dream of still becoming. Your thoughts wander beyond and you think of the times walking every morning behind the house, a vacant space which is now full of houses. Silence awakens that sleeping creative side of you. And you wish everything is back to normal. But what is normal nowadays?
There is one thing positive though that the days brought us, pollution has lessened. Family bonding is an everyday affair although sometimes you get to talk only via Viber or Messenger. it is better than nothing though. Technology certainly has its advantage in these trying times.
Be safe, Be well. Be happy 🙂
These whatsapp calls coupled with the respite in the garden certainly helps. We have returned to work to salary cuts and stormy forecasts. Tough times ahead Arlene.

I have enjoyed having my husband home all the time since he has to work from home right now. I also enjoy having more time for the Mass. There are definitely some positive aspects to this time.
