SHELTER?

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

"Sheltering in place". Yes, that's where most of us are doing right now. My home and time spent here used to feel peaceful, a refuge, relaxing and a safe place to land after a bad day outside these walls.

I wonder if I'll ever look at my house the same way again? How will I feel the days I stay home by choice? Will I want to spend time here or feel trapped?

Honestly, I think that once this is all over, we will be surprised on how quickly we get back to normal. After an initial burst of everyone leaving their homes, we will all settle back to whatever our normal was.

For now, I'm thinking I'll always be "looking over my shoulder" for the next wave to show up. Not sure I'll ever relax thoroughly again. At least not for a long, long time.

I have always loved being at home so I am looking at this as a bonus.

what I will not go back to is shaking hands, I always thought that was gross but in business did it anyway, NO MORE. I will also be way more selective about the people I hug.

Other than that, getting the occasional haircut going out to eat once in a great while not much will change I don't think. Hubby and I truly enjoy each others company so we are pretty good right now.

I thank G-d every day for the roof over my head, heat and clean water and a pantry, fridge & freezer full of food, especially now.

My home is my nest, fixed up just as I like it. A blessing.

I look forward to having places to go in the future, but I will always look forward to returning to my home.

So many do not have a home.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

not a fan of hugging those outside my immediate family, hopefully that will be pulled back

I love being home. Right now the birds are calling me to come feed them. The sun is shinning through the kitchen window. Your home should be your sanctuary. I guess it's all a state of mind.
