Connie's Corner

An old person's perspective...

Just when most of us are coming up with new ways to cope, sheltering-in-place rules are starting to be lifted. Some beaches have been opened here in Florida causing lots of comments yea and nay. I would love to go to the beach, being a beach baby in my younger years, but you know what they say about erring on the side of caution. That's me. I'm a few months over 75 so even if restrictions are lifted, I'll be going on as normal for now for a while.

Before this, I often wondered how I would get along without a car since I use it so little anyway, hardly worth the insurance, and to my delight I have found out. I can order groceries, I can get my prescriptions delivered, my books are on my Kindle, there's Facebook and writing.com for socializing, Zoom for group meetings and classes, and friends, relatives, and neighbors offering to help with anything I need and don't have. I think it's wonderful. Will this continue after?
