Blessed by Corona

More and more I am hearing folks confess that they **like** Corona rules and don't want to give them up. The global shutdown gave them official blessing to and even billed them as heroes for living as they would prefer to live, anyway. I strongly suspect I would have been among those without the need to care for my 3 foster children. Corona rules have not been kind to the Foster Care netwoks. I know because I actually looked into giving them back to the system so that I could disappear into the unmasked social distance of the wilderness. What wilderness is left to us, anyway. I've always fantasized about doing exactly that and the masked madness heightened my desire to do so. When I looked into it, I discovered that the few remaining heroes left on the foster care scene are being forced to house children in the abandoned offices these days. I'm not anti-social enough to abandon children to those measures.



Anybody else feeling blessed by Corona?

"Collateral Beauties"! What an intriguing and wonderful notion. I am now, also, a big fan of your random hugger. May she hug profusely in safety and with an unbridled passion for spreading joy!

The safety be the part I worry about. I still hold that Corona is not the meanest pathogen in the global petri dish, especially for children. I worry that the random hugs are part of the "Attachment Disorder" she developed when she was taken into protective custody at the age of 2. She was only 4 when she came to us, both parents were killed in a fatal car wreck, followed by the global shutdown. She currently believes anyone who smiles at her is her friend. She has no foundation from which she can grow an understanding of friendship. A predator's dream, especially when fortified by social distances.

I'm taking your thought of "collateral beauty" to heart, arfie, and looking for it. It's been a rainy week in Chiapas, Mexico this week, and being cooped up inside two days this week made me grouchy. But the collateral beauty was that a beautiful flower bloomed in my patio right outside my front door all by itself. I stopped to take a photo of it today to record the "collateral beauty" of it.

Yup. . . Nature be a master of collateral beauty, as well as random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. Oughta be. . . The bitch is also the Queen of Disasters.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
