Hello from Connec...We are one and the same darling! Hello from Connecticut! Just found your blog today! When I get overwhelmed and stressed, like you I seek out the tranquility and what that means to me. Getting back to my roots if you will, remembering a simple easy life and how to get by on what really matters. Can't wait to be part of your blog! If interested here's mine in return!<br />www.theartofhomegrown.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489769063596521786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-35776252540674447912020-08-23T19:21:22.958-04:002020-08-23T19:21:22.958-04:00I don't understand why some choose not to wear...I don't understand why some choose not to wear masks - it definitely baffles me. <br />I hope you don't mind if I add a little tidbit regarding 'finding tranquility'. I believe having a hobby, something one has always enjoyed or taking time to learn something new. There are so many fabulous videos on line. Rather than sitting at home wringing our hands and fretting put those hands to work - x-stitch, hand embroidery, jig saw puzzles, needlepoint, drawing, painting, etc. I'd love to share my personal story regarding a renewed interest in handwork but instead I'll simply say it's all part of self care. Take care and I hope you're feeling much better.

There's a sign on the front doors to the store saying masks required. I went to Customer Service to talk to a manager. He claimed there wasn't anything he could do; that perhaps they had an underlying medical condition. I was so furious that I wrote an email to Corporate headquarters. Of course, I just got a "Dear John" type email back stating their managers are trained to talk to customers about masks and ask if they have a medical condition for not wearing one. I'm like well yeah, but this guy didn't even do that! He wouldn't go talk to them. Ridiculous. What these idiots that won't wear masks don't understand is that it's to mostly protect others, not themselves! So get over yourself and have some courtesy compassion for those around you.<br /><br />I've been eating my usual, healthy diet and have maintained my weight throughout this pandemic and I feel good, too. I also do yoga, meditation and walk a mile outside every single day. I dread this upcoming winter when I'm stuck in the house due to our severe weather and I have to walk on the treadmill in the basement. It's so depressing.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-5833934158608066062020-08-22T11:53:52.670-04:002020-08-22T11:53:52.670-04:00It is hard to keep positive and keep my spirits up...It is hard to keep positive and keep my spirits up.

If everyone would wear a mask we could get back to whatever will be normal again. Stick to walking. Less chance of injury. Take it from someone who is clumsy and gets injured easily. <br />Brenda<br /><br /><br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-12130202627959322892020-08-22T11:08:16.696-04:002020-08-22T11:08:16.696-04:00It is crazy that people will not wear a mask.

I love all your tranquil ideas so thank you for sharing those with us. I think this has been going on for so long and it is so scary we all have PTSD and depression of some sort. This is a horrible way for all of us to be living. Let's hope by next year they will have a vaccine that will help and more medications that will help those inflicted. Happy Saturday. Hugs.
