Life is so hectic, so chaotic. Things cost so much money, life is expensive. I’ve often said to my wife I’d go back in time and be just fine, simple life , trade and barter kind of life. I’m a carpenter, you have cows , I’ll build you a barn you give me meat. I would be just fine to live in a time like this. Have You ever watched Oulander ? Great TV show, it’s about a lady named Claire married to a man named frank in 1946 . She finds these ancient stones In the Scottish highlands that transport just her from 1946 to 1743 Scotland. She has to survive and armed with her knowledge of future events helps her to navigate the past. People end up thinking she’s a witch and we all know what happened to witches back then. She Also falls in love with a Scottish man named Jamie. Who doesn't love a good Scottish man, P.S. I’m Scottish. Check out Outlander if it sounds intriguing, they are in season 5 right now and close to the season finale, I CAN’T WAIT.

Just like Claire goes to a simpler time, I feel we have aswell stepped into a simpler time. Strange for me to think of this as simple times, even though it’s more complicated in many, many ways. I guess what I mean no work , Staying home, cooking, doing projects around the house. A friend of mine recently said to me over the phone,

“WAIT! AM I RETIRED ? Or just dreaming”

I don’t know if this is a dream or a nightmare, one day we will wake up and everything will be back to normal. Probably not the old normal we once new but a new normal. I’m not grateful for the COVID-19, grateful is the wrong word. I can’t even say thankful because thats not right either. I don’t wish any death or suffering on anyone, I guess I am grateful and thankful for the time to spend with my family, thankful that we are all healthy, Grateful that we can make it through this together. I just like the simpler life, more time at home, more family time, going on walks, just being together and doing things

As a bonus while we are locked up an home, the world is healing. Wild life is coming back to places where it once was banished from all the human involvement.

Strange things happen while the world is asleep, or everyone is at home not allowed to leave ...
