Life!
Life can change quickly due to many different reasons.
Four months ago I was very active.
Took long walks, met friends, had lunch in town, had a coffee in town with friends, had a job I loved to go to, wonderful co-workers,
took hold of my life, divorced, sold the house and found an apartment.
And then life struck.
CORONA came and changed everything.
Now I am sitting here in my new apartment isolated.
I can not invite friends home for dinner.
I can not go to work or have a social life at all.
My inspiration to create has almost completely disappeared
even though I have all the time in the world to do things.
I think tomorrow I will do this and that,
but as soon as I sit down, everything disappears.
Bye, bye inspiration.
I long until I can go to the shops myself and look at things I need.
I order food and small items from the store and it is delivered to my door.
It affects me mentally,
but I have learned to appreciate the little things even more.
Although I live very centrally, this is an animal rich life.
It was not even that much when I lived in the house.
Here are gulls, magpies, sparrows, swallows, pigeons,
hares, hedgehogs and I have also seen a blue tit.
Yesterday I had a good laugh.
It had rained a lot and the gull cubs were like real children,
they splashed around and lay down in the pools of water
and fluttered their wings.
It was a wonderful feeling to look out the window and see them enjoying.
Now they have started to learn to fly.
They come half a meter above the ground,
then they land after two or three meters.
But things are going better every day
and some have even managed to get on the car roofs.
There they lie and sunbathe when the sun comes out for a while.
It has not been so nice weather lately it has rained and blown a lot.
But it is also something I experience differently.
The clattering sound of the rain against the window.
It's actually soothing to hear.
I am grateful that we live in a world of electronics because I can
see and talk to children and grandchildren through facetime.
This Sunday I looked after my daughter's little pug Skrållan,
it's been so long since we saw each other.
She has had surgery so she has been home for a long time
because she was not allowed to be active and playful.
But this day I will live for a long time, so much love in a small body.
Now I have only one wish
and that is that this virus will soon be over
so everyone can return to a more normal life.
But unfortunately I think it will take too long
for too many people have no respect for this.
Most people just think it's a common flu,
but I have not seen a flu last that long.
That must be all for today
because now it feels like I'm starting to get negative, and I do not want that.
So I wish you all a wonderful day / evening wherever in the world you are
and take care of each other.
Love and Hugs for you all / Ann
