don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you

When I bought this "sea salt and water" candle a few weeks back, I didn't think about it as a balm for the house in the days of social isolation. But it is. Seriously wonderful aroma and the name makes me think of salt water rinses/gargles which are good for everything. Except, and let me be clear, it smells like the ocean, not gargled water, and I for sure am not gargling with it.

I love to light it first thing in the morning when it's still a little darkish out. 

Other things I have continued doing are regular walks, outside. Sky/cloud therapy is powerful stuff.

The daffodils will have to be replaced. I plan to go to the grocery store during "senior hours". Maybe someone will card me? Flowers are a necessity not a luxury.

Is everyone keeping some sort of journal to record these goings on? In future years I am pretty sure I will want to revisit what I thought it was important to capture about these current events.

Light the candle, take the walk, enjoy the flowers, write the thoughts, and in the words of the inimitable Marti Huff, shown below with her social distancing yardstick, "don't trouble trouble until trouble troubles you".

Well said. I believe in taking advice from 96 year old women that look this good.

This is the best Carol:) Thank you. A necessary event is to start our days off with a smile. You were successful in helping me with that task with this post! Check...I can now carry on with my day.

Wise,and useful advice, all of it. I would add, read Tall Tales in the morning with tea. Take care, Carol.

Thanks, Carol. I agree with Linda, starting the day with you is a pleasure and attitude check.

Thank you Linda and Jacki!

I'm so glad I bought a bouquet before this all started. But avoid senior hours. I went during ours and the store was packed. I walked past the store later in the day and the parking lot was much lighter.

Carol... I so look forward to your daily feel good posts. I actually save them until I need a bit of an uplifting feeling. Definitely a bright spot in my day. Thanks so very much for your cheerful posts and for the wonderful, giving work you do daily. Healthcare workers are surely doing Gods work these days.
