The stay at home for my age group especially, was on reflection, a release from the build up of life’s pressures that had sneaked up on me. I warmed to the slow mornings, taking all the time I wanted in prayer with no plans to distract me.
Concerns and needs of others filled my thoughts expressed in supplications. I wondered and questioned as I followed the news updates frustrated by talking heads who insisted on telling me their interpretation of what I had just heard. Do they think I needed that! Getting a bit cranky, hmm.
I communicated online with friends and for hours found great pleasure in the yard. My biggest decision of the days being what to wear as I enlisted gardeners to do the heavy lifting.
The bones and muscles eventually needed to rest, just in time we could have chats on the large front porch, breaking the isolation.
My neighbour arrived, all dressed up declaring, “I even have my pearls on!” I thought I was sort of dressed for morning tea but my standards had taken a dive.
A visit from grandchildren on Mother’s Day has busted me out! I see the doors opening and wonder if I will ever allow my life to come under the former pressures? No! So thankful for what I have learnt.
