I'm finding the world is changing. People are really nice. When we go for our daily walk, more people speak or wave, at a distance of course. If we drive, which is not too often, traffic volume is much less and drivers are less frustrated. No one seems to be in a hurry.
We are getting more take out dinners to help support the restaurants that are suffering so they can still pay their rent and hopefully reopen to table service. We enjoy eating out, however, wine is much cheaper at home. I tip more than before and don't even get table service. I'm happy they are open and know every penny counts. I thank them for staying open. At our favorite sushi restaurant, the waitress said "I really miss you too!" At The Roadhouse, we are known as Mr. & Mrs. Soup. They have the most delicious home made soup at lunch. I think we eat out too much.
I'm on a first name basis with my wonderful letter carrier, Sue. She delivers my Shopping Channel packages! At least my Amazon Prime go to Cheryl's so Sue doesn't have to bring them here. Today she told Cec, it's just like Christmas there are so many parcels. Thank heavens for the internet and my Master Card!
I always thank my grocery store cashier when I'm checking out at seniors special shopping time. I sent my hairdresser an email telling her how much I miss her! I've also reached out to my nail technician to tell her I'm ready as soon as Justin or Dr. Bonnie gives the okay.
I'm now on a first name basis with Justin and Dr. Bonnie as we see each other every day and they have become my friends. Their reassuring words and optimism are keeping me hopeful. I look forward to their press conferences!
When this is over, hopefully our world will be a better place!
