Season of Realignment

As I tried to decided what to title this post in our crazy upturned world I decided realignment best sums it up.  It is full of unknowns and scary.   I choose to think of it as a time for people to realign, realign priorities, realign how we do our days, realign how we help others.   This looks different for each of us.  

Some of my realigning has been to remove me from Facebook most of the time.  I have removed it from my phone. It’s only on my iPad. I usually use my iPad before daylight and after my day is done. So those are the times I now check fb. I read my notifications, one group and usually scroll until my heart starts growing heavy or I get disgusted.  So not to long.  What I do miss is second coffee rambles on my favorite group and sharing photos throughout the day.  

I decided instead of a second coffee ramble of a morning on fb I will blog.  My goal will be to keep it real but positive.  I don’t do doom and gloom. I think it’s toxic and dangerous.  

I realize I’m highly blessed to be comfortable at home.   It’s my favorite place to be anyway.   Because I grew up poor and a long ways from a grocery store then have carried on the long ways to the store I make do better than many.   I did go to town Saturday (first time In 2 1/2 weeks) and stock up a bit more than normal.  At this point we could survive months without going hungry with the basics.  Beans, rice, oats as staples a case of potatoes and sweet potatoes, a case of apples and oranges from the store add our beef, milk and eggs we will do fine here.  A few years ago I bought this much monthly.  I don’t mind offering tips on making do with basics.  

I will probably do a post most mornings after chores.  Maybe with a few early morning pictures.  Then do a running blog post until evening of all my normal fb post. Usually pictures of grands, plants or critters.  I may dig back in my photos to share things that make me

smile in hopes it will brighten your day if you choose to read.  Let’s spend this season of realignment helping each other.  I’m a hermit but here if I can talk to you or if you have a need.
