A Day's Reflection
Another day has dawned.... The early morning chill has roused me from my sleep. I woke up to an empty bed...for a while, it slipped my mind that my hubby earlier kissed me goodbye while I was half-awake. It is already six o'clock and he has gone off to work. I, on the other hand, still works from home. It has been like this for three months now, ever since this pandemic changed the way we do things and live our lives.
I walked around the empty house, walked past the two small rooms and came to the dining table. I took some time to admire the oranges neatly sitting in the fruit basket atop the table. They were bright orange, enticing and inviting.
As I sat down to my breakfast of cereals and cup of hot Milo, I relished in the peace and quiet of the house. I have learned to love some bits and pieces of this new normal. For one, I don't need to do those mad dashes in the mornings in order to catch my train. Also, since, I don't need to go out and brave the cold winter mornings, I haven't had any of my mild asthma attacks.
Of course, there is nothing like going back to the old normal, when you can hang out with your friends without any fear of catching the virus. It will be good to see people who lost their jobs gain it back, businesses bouncing back to life.
