[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

More sunshine.

Managing to get to town today on my sore leg, and get done the things that needed doing. I got dog food, supported our movie store as best I could (no new releases in a long time that I'm interested in, but they have old movies for two bucks, and I buy a lot of those), went into Winners and came out with some glittery eye shadow (resisted nice sweaters on the grounds that I have lots at home), and got groceries.

As always, I am grateful for having a car, a licence, the means to buy food and extras, and the physical ability to do so (and keeping in mind that many people are in pain or have mobility issues worse than my leg).

I wore a mask everywhere today, and most people were also wearing one. One thing I miss, is the connection of smiling at strangers. I feel that with masks, people are not bothering to look at each other's faces any more. I used to get more of a sense of connection with people in stores and so on, and that isn't happening as much. People are still nice, but they talk less, and you don't get to see their faces, so the whole experience is diminished. I know we need to wear masks, and I do, but it leads to more feelings of isolation.

That our yard is more cleaned up. It would be a lot harder to get around our yard, if not impossible, with my sore leg.
