In the space of a few weeks our priorities have changed. The small aggravations of daily life, the larger worries that used to keep us up at night, seem trivial now.
Stuck at home, staring at our screens and each other, we redefine important. Find the things that matter to us, that make this drag of days easier, that make us smile.
For the most part, these sanity savers aren’t new. They’ve been right there under our noses, visible but unseen, ignored in the hustle and bustle that used to be our lives. Only now, do they step onto centre stage, now that our world has shrunk to four walls.
Prior to the Covid lockdown, windows didn’t play a big role in my life. I walked past them without thought. Raised a blind in the morning, lowered it at night, and never stopped to look.
I look now.
One thing in my window this week was the “super moon” which appeared larger and brighter than usual. One night it was peach colored.
Your post reminded me of an old Hollies song.

You have a lovely view to distract you. I look through mine to check for signs of life, where as before, Iād shut that out.

Hi, Aimer – I like your ‘window to the world’. We definitely have redefined what is important.
Stay safe!

Right? I keep straying into more and more “who cares?!!” clothing these days but try to remember to make an effort for my man now and again. He’s very sweet and the type who really doesn’t care….so it’s pretty easy taking the train to “whatever” ville! š¤£
