How about “OK Minor and Love You Major” ~~~~

Jim said...

Not too much
"normal life" for most.
But for us retired
Seems almost normal life
Save lifeboat for the morrow

Rommy said...

The strumming of our hearts can be heard in distinct ways in times such as these.

Marja said...

Good question. It feels very unsettling

Oh, Gillena, this is sweet! I can hear the strumming of normalcy, even though you question its existence. As Julian of Norwich said: "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." Amen.

Gillena Cox said...

Amen, thanks for this confidence Maggie

Much❤love

Jenna said...

I really like this, Gillena. The music of these words continues strumming in my heart, somehow...

What is interesting is how the people in different countries react to the crisis. In Australia people are aware of the danger with the government closing down shops, churches and cafes, etc and trying to get people staying home, schools and churches closing, cafes closing and cash transactions frowned on. Group meets are not encouraged at all. In addition borders between states are closed too to most.

Thanks for your appreciation Jenna

Same hรจre and group are narrowed to no more than 5 people. We have to walk with IDs on leaving the house. We csn be questioned as to where we are going or coming from

Myrna R. said...

Fortunately, I'm an introvert. I love being home and solitude soothes me. I am lucky that way. Life hasn't changed too much, though I do miss the normalcy of being with friends once in a while.

Gillena Cox said...

Thanks for your appreciation Sanaa

Gillena Cox said...

Yes i understand totally. Thanks for dropping by Myrna

Much❤love

Rosemary Nissen-Wade said...

Beautifully put!

Like Myrna, I'm basically an introvert who actually needs a lot of alone time, and my life also has changed little – and friends have been good with phone calls and video chat.

indybev said...

It's pretty much the same here, except for the ID. It boggles my mind how this spread over the entire world in a month's time. Bless you and bless Trinidad. Stay safe.

Gillena Cox said...

Happy you dropped by Rodemary
