A pendulum swings two ways. Right? Grocery shopping was a joy and now it's a chore. Is there anything that was a chore that is now a joy?

Seeking balance is a good thing. What you lose in one place you may gain elsewhere. Have you found that to be true for you? About what?

    Grocery shopping was a joy?  Not for me it wasn't - and I even worked in grocery stores!!!

    I told you that Shuhak. I LOVE to cook. My favorite shopping for decades has always been FOOD shopping and shopping for cookware. My thing. NOW? It sucks bigly. One of the joys of my life is gone. Will it ever come back to being what it was? I'll be dead by then probably. We did the deed today. I wore a face mask and a hoodie and gloves. The good part was I got EVERYTHING that was on my list and even a few impulse buys that weren't. Here's my thoughts on that. I'm 82. I could be dead in a week. Why should I deprive myself of carmel corn or chocolate truffles today? I decided I won't. So shoot me. SIGH. Still and all I feel wistful about those good old days of a month or so ago. Thank you for your reply! :) This post was edited by RosieG at April 14, 2020 6:17 PM MDT
