SherryeB's Journal, 03 May 20

So currently I'm sitting on my back deck enjoying a beautiful warm, sunny day. There is a light breeze & the sound of the river rippling past the rear of our house. I'm taking a day off from gardening. Today is our neighbor/friend's birthday so we've arranged s party of sorts. We're joining our friend's down at the river for "Happy Hour" this afternoon. They also invited the 3rd couple we usually do Thursday night Dinner with, but haven't seen in months. We'll all sit a few feet apart on their River Deck. In honor of the special occasion I'm thinking I'll put on makeup, do my hair & wear a cute casual outfit. I even painted my toenails so I can wear sandals 😀💅. (And not be embarrassed at how bad they've been looking 😐)

A couple of days ago the library called & said they were starting curbside pickup for books that had been reserved. I had requested a book to read for bookclub before the quarantine & it's been sitting inaccessible to me at the library. I drove the few miles over with the sunroof open....the sun on my neck & the radio turned up. 🎶🎵🌞 A few minutes of pure joy!

We need to be kind to each other always...but especially now, in these times when just a few moments of normalcy can make a difference. Show grace & understand some may be struggling more than usual.
