Sorry for the absence but anxiety
reared it's ugly head about the global crisis.
DECLUTTERING:
I am into my sixth week in isolation.
What a lonely senario to be in.
I've tired to be more positive.
So ended up "Decluttering".
There were a number of boxes,
Still unopened from when I moved.
So decided to sort out the contents.
Which has made life more improved.
There were many memories in the boxes,
Concerts of Danny Boy.
My, those were the days I can tell you,
Days of filling my life with joy.
Then I got down to the task in hand.
To "Declutter" this head of mine.
Lots of fears of this virus....not good
Which has prevented me writing my rhymes.
When one puts things into perspective,
Not a pretty picture I saw.
Not the Yvonne of yester year,
But one I aim for one and all.
My daughter is proving a God send.
We phone daily I will tell.
Still her and her husband doing my shopping.
To ensure I am eating well.
Can't wait for the hairdresser to re-open,
I by pass the mirror each day.
It's way past having it coloured and cut.
As I look the other way.
I hope all of you are well,
Despite all what's going on.
Missing out on all this spring sunshine.
Is certainly friends no fun.
PLEASE TAKE CARE:

I am glad your daughter has been a great blessing to you! It is hard not to get down during these times. I struggle at times but then I try to remember how blessed I am. I have stopped watching the news and instead listen to podcasts of sermons. Much more reassuring and comforting. May these days and soon.

Yes Betty hard days and a hard virus , It;s the small things in life I miss. I too have stopped watching the news.
DeleteTake good care of yourself Betty and a big thank you from me.
Yvonne.
So glad you shared a poem today. Isolation is not fun but I have found that we can still connect. Glad you're in touch with your daughter daily. My mom and I are too. I need to take your lead on decluttering, though I am cleaning some extra.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your mother appreciate all you do for her Natalie. I know I am proud and privileged to have a wonderful daughter and SIL. Thanks for coming by and take care.
DeleteYvonne.
That's a brilliant idea. Gives you something productive to do and new things to focus on.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane, I hope you're keeping well , Take care.
DeleteYvonne.
My mom feels the same way - she is desperate for the hairdresser.
ReplyDeleteJust enjoy sorting and going through memories.
We women and our hair, I was/am getting over anxious about the whole situation so I thought of my Daniel and his wonderful inspirational songs. Last week(15th) it was eighteen months since my son John passed away in Spain....seems like yesterday.
DeleteThank you Alex for coming by, hope your mother succeeds in her hairdo.
Yvonne.
I am so glad you and your daughter are in touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm in desperate need of haircut.
You take special care.
Yes Sandra we speak twice a day, she is severly disabled yet "Walks" around the supermarket for my food each week.
DeleteHope you manage to get your hair done and take care.
Yvonne.
You sound like you're doing better, Yvonne. That's great. I know it's been tough for you, but you are strong and will see it through. Take care, sweet lady. Say a prayer. We're all with you and we will survive. When we survive this, we can deal with anything. Yes. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that strong Beverly and I do wonder where the world situation is leading us to. Thanks for your visit and please take care of yourself.
DeleteYvonne.
Some good comes off the isolation. One is productive in many ways when it comes to surviving in a crisis.It is good that you get connected with your daughter who helped out. Take care Yvonne Ma'Am!
ReplyDeleteHank
Yes Hank it is great having my daughter back she is a treasure.
DeleteTake care.
Yvonne.
so happy to see this post. Glad you could declutter some boxes and the mind. It's tough for all, no doubt. I, sad to say, took up some scissors and hacked at my bangs. Oh yeah - looking good (sarcastically written). Oh well. Just hang in there!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, I may have to resort to cutting my hair.
DeleteEnjoy your weekend and take care.
Yvonne.
Life is certainly challenging us all right now, things are so different. Glad your family are helping out with shopping. I keep trying to tell myself this too will pass. Best wishes and stay well.
ReplyDeleteHello Suzanne, hope Cormwall is getting on with Lockdown. Donna my daughter has been a real support in this crisis,
