He is on the autistic spectrum, so things work a bit differently for him than other children. I got a bit frustrated today with our lesson today, I just had to breathe. Remember, I am fortunate that I have good internet access and a laptop. A lot of children don't even have that. Celebrate what you have and be grateful too.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807876444563019161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-57525589310859348872020-04-27T09:11:44.647-04:002020-04-27T09:11:44.647-04:00I visited your Blog and tried to leave a comment b...I visited your Blog and tried to leave a comment but WordPress would not allow me to unless I set up a pass word and an acct. which I am not willing to do so I am responding here ....<br />Great post!!

We all need to be mindful of how this is impacting those in different boats than we are.Glad to read that you and your family are doing well.Beverly @Across the Blvdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13032992589359976422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-74762776868073132402020-04-26T01:30:12.468-04:002020-04-26T01:30:12.468-04:00caught this at pink saturday. thanks for your wise...caught this at pink saturday. thanks for your wise words. please keep safe and healthy. xoMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095933755921775703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-26962202936142920022020-04-25T21:28:03.837-04:002020-04-25T21:28:03.837-04:00Kathy,

I LOVE being home and was really only going out about once or twice a week before the Stay at Home order. Our son has been living with us for the first time in 10 years and I have enjoyed having him here... I am cooking a bit more but otherwise, not much has changed for me.....Thanks so much for stopping by!!Congrats on your retirement!!

Like your boat, ours has been even keel. And what a blessing it is as all in our family recognize. My heart is with everyone whose boat is more rocky. I really appreciate this community of kind hearts that I find on your blog. Please keep it up and know that you are providing solace.

I myself along with 3 of my adult children are all on the front lines as nurses. We take care of those that need love and hope that others do not get sick. We are careful when we come home, change our clothes, get our showers and try to enjoy time off only to return the next day. I too hope that it does not last long but to tell you the truth I love the little ones in my life and want them to be protected as well just like the rest of the world wants their children cared for so whatever is right or wrong I pray for safety <br />come see us at http://shopannies.blogspot.com annies homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14583996787641143024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-32453848848541806252020-04-23T10:37:36.240-04:002020-04-23T10:37:36.240-04:00I am like you, Debbie.

Of course, we miss seeing our friends and we miss our grandchildren a lot! we were supposed to be visiting our grandson who lives 2000 miles away this week but of course, our trip was canceled. Thank you for this reminder to count our blessings.Meditations in Motionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406003928113822953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-83929377002704193782020-04-23T10:25:41.408-04:002020-04-23T10:25:41.408-04:00Yes I have been having this same issue on blogger....Yes I have been having this same issue on blogger.

My son and daughter are working from their homes. I am working on crafts more than usual and glad I have such a hoard of supplies! I do miss going shopping, but, hey, I can work on getting my credit cards paid down with no new charges on them! Now, if I could only get the umph to tackle some spring cleaning!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08268246647001351491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539942105680988988.post-31484126406371097932020-04-21T13:23:22.852-04:002020-04-21T13:23:22.852-04:00I have had so much things happen to my blog .I wou...I have had so much things happen to my blog .I would love to knew someome to come to my house and fix .

It's healthier to be in sunshine and exercising. My grand kids came by Friday. The father and mother work, some days home, some days not. Thank God so far all is well, but who knows? We flew kites we planted flowers and put up a fence with Opa. No gloom and doom. Sick of it and a little laughter and fresh air never made anyone sick. We kept hands clean and no coughing on anyone, besides being outside and an allergy cough is better than being cooped in a closed up house. Good post and I reposted the few pictures, so far still there but blogger is really messed up and I don't want to make a habit of reposting pictures either.

Like many, this quarantine has been heaven for me. I am working from, and I am receiving a paycheck. It will likely be less it is normally, but I am prepared and feel confident finanacially. My cats and husband have loved having me home so much. I have so much time to pursue goals and projects and ideas. So I am grateful for this opportunity to be with my family for as long as it lasts. The last good piece is that I am retiring early next year, so this has helped this year speed by even more quickly. I do feel very badly for those who have been devastated by this, and I wish there was more that could be done.

My husband has been able to devote all his time to taking care of me and the house and the lack of visitors means I don't have to wear anything except baggy pj's and uncombed hair. As much as I love my tiny grandchildren under foot normally, they have not been here to bump into me. I am blessed.
