Pandemic

To all those sheltering in place!!! I send love and wishes that you, yours, and all stay well.

After almost 57 years of marriage we weren’t sure how we’d weather 24/7. I’m so happy to report no cross words and attribute it to doing our own thing during the day, I’m writing postcards to voters in upcoming state elections and housework (I really get into it) and my husband works from home. Then wine with dinner (a necessary habit) and finding non-news programs to watch together. Hope all is going well for you and especially those with school age children. I just help take care of two grown-up needs.

I invite you to see my three latest poems on this site. There is also an anthology that I’m part of. The Sum of Us, by Women Who Write, there are five poets work including mine in the new book. If you’d like a copy email me at redmel@me.com. Perhaps reading poems will take your mind off the Corona Virus? Keep washing your hands, keep 6 feet of distance, and find something that you can keep doing to lift your spirits!!! We’ll get through this, Melanie
