THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW

I know many of us are starting to get a little buggy with this sheltering in place and quarantining. I'm currently at our California digs. We got here just before the shelter in place orders so here we are in our condo, sheltering. A much different picture than I'd envisioned. I'd planned on making new friends, throwing parties, going line dancing, playing tennis, doing all kinds of stuff with our kids. At the moment I'm...
not doing any of that. But I am getting a lot of writing done. As Melody Jones, one of my favorite characters in my Moonlight Harbor series would say, "Every storm has a rainbow." Right now I'm concentrating on rainbows. Here are some of the positives I'm finding:
I'm saving a lot of money. Other than groceries and books we're not buying much. Sure saving a ton on gas!
I can binge on House Hunters International guilt free.
I've got a bug but it's not COVID-19
I can Zoom!
I can get creative with the goods we've stocked up on.
I can get creative. Period. This is turning out to be a very productive time for me.
I have toilet paper!
I'm at home, not in a hospital on a respirator.
I am seeing firsthand what a blessing good health is. It's something I hope never to take for granted again.
How about you? I hope you're finding some rainbows in the storm. Stay well everyone and let's remember to pray for those who are dealing with this and the ones who are working so hard to get them well.
I keep thinking of that song from the musical Annie. It seems dark right now but sunrise is coming.

Miss being out and about but thankful every day that I can get up and be blessed with all I have. Been a tough time for us as we lost our sweet Abby on Feb 24. She was 14 and had a good life but we are so lost without her and it makes this time really hard. But our family is well and we can walk and get out so we have everything we need. God is in control!

I work at a local hospital, a very frightening place to work during this pandemic, but people depend on us, so off to work we go, although all management has been sent home to work. Your books have been a god-send during this time, something to lighten the mood and brighten my day. I'll be finishing up Angel Lane today and moving onto Love in Bloom by tomorrow. Everyone stay safe and please do NOT go out if you do not have to! Wear a mask to keep from spreading germs and please, whatever you do, do NOT take your children with you!

Grateful I can workplace from home and still get paid. Grateful I love to read, and can enjoy great weather while reading. Grateful my family and friends are safe and healthy.

Rainbows a’plenty!
Everyone I love is healthy.
Hubby is still working.
No one is dropping bombs on us.
I’m going to make Rice Krispie treats.
