scenic route

Thalia hummed the tune of an old favorite. When she recognized BINGO and COVID both have five letters, she couldn’t believe her luck! “There was a Typist — had a virus — and Covid was it’s name-o. C—O—V-I-D! C—O—V-I-D! C—O—V-I-D! And Covid was its name-o.”

“Creative.” Urania gave credit where credit was due.

“Guess her number was up?” Calliope shrugged. “Almost can’t believe it’s taken so long for her to catch it.”

Unlike time, life is not linear.

It has twists and turns.

You make plans and the unexpected forces you to re-calculate.

Knowing this, some of us might be content with the scenic route.

“...Knowing this, some of us might be content with the scenic route.”

Here’s me saying, I’m beyond content... I’m excited about the scenic route! Let me be clear though, my route does not include intentionally declaring bingo or covid...

If I can continue to avoid this scourge and all the other microbial offerings looking for human hosts, I will not be disappointed. I will not experience FOMO! 😉

Wishing you well and sending coordinates to reset your GPS! 😎 ...Recalculating! 🧭☺️🧭

I like your sketch/drawing today! Does Henny own a pair of pup boots? Predicted wind chills have me wondering about Izzie, though she never seems to experience any distress from walking on cold pavement.

I hope you and your indispensable Muses keep your paddles in the water... maybe not the ideal metaphor for “continuing to create.” While practicing acceptance. 😊
