Some April That

As March progressed  , a hitherto unknown entity progressed too, rendering us in a lock-down by the end of the month ..

And there was  April !.....

An unprecedented one ...
 Unlimited family time, work from home , relaxed meal hours ( which sometimes turned out to be the highlight of the day ) , Limited outings for essentials , and curtailed social interactions .
A forced hikikomori experience .

Being blessed to be isolated with the best lot , my own family .. I soaked in the little joys...Thanks to the connected world we live in, my best peeps were just a ping away ...
Grateful about this  time to pray and ponder, write , read , doodle, cook, eat healthy , exercise  and yes the inevitable cleaning and keeping house . Soulful web series & movies  kept amazing company too ... A much relished "pause" experience ...

And then there were unfailing sunrises , cool mornings giving way to hot noons , clouds gathering to burst into pre-monsoon showers, gently setting dusks and full moon nights ....

As April gives way to May , and there are questions about how and when things will return to normal.  Something I read resonated with me ." Use this time to consider which parts of normal are worth rushing back to "

I for sure will take my time .........
