Good Friday morning everyone,
I’m having a moment of “back-to-the-land” as I watch all of this other stuff swirl around. I understand that at some point, we have to “get back to normal”, but I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I will want to do so.
I like getting to spend time through the day with my family.
I like getting to have lunch with my family.
I like being “done” at 5:30, versus until the phone quits ringing.
I like thinking about growing my own garden, and cooking at home.
Are there things I miss? Yeah, sure - I miss getting beers with my friends. I miss visiting my family, particularly my parents and the folks in my home neighborhood.
But I won’t want things to go back to normal too fast. I hope that we all realize that a many things that “could have been done” before are now being done. People are working from home, with their kids. People can shop locally, buying from local farmers and supporting local restaurants. Calling back to the other day, people can go outside, and experience nature, versus living on their devices. People are meeting with their doctors via video calls. We can manufacture and grow and invent here in our area, and take care of our own - which we are doing now.
Why would we want to go back?
Hope folks have a great weekend
