Isolation Diary: I got a covid test today. Just because. Repair people in and out of the house. Contact with family who are in contact with others. I mean…..the children! They need to be with other children. So safe pods expand, begin to overlap like Venn diagrams. We balance our physical health with our mental health. My mental health? My sense of humor is still intact, my sense of purpose and value is in question. But there are glimmers of a possible positive project forming. I am a little surprised at my continuing efforts to make this idea a thing, a reality. And I am encouraged. The isolation, however wonderful my family is, and they are a profound blessing, has blurred the outlines of identity a bit. Maybe blurred is not the right term. Maybe created alternate outlines. A bunch of them. Not right. Can’t say what I mean. At times in my life I have felt adrift. As though I could float away into outer space. I am grateful for my anchors. The isolation has loosened some of my anchors.

I love your posts Ruth.Nancy W.
Ruth, you express so well my own feelings. And my family is too far away go me to ever see them. Anchors loosened, adrift and afraid. And winter coming on.Ruth Silveira
Nancy, I am so sorry you are far from your family. Traveling is hard right now. We must keep what contact we can, with friends, with family. Sometimes with, hey, anybody.Nancy W.
YES! So good to hear from you and read your posts. xoxo
