Staying home alone has its advantages. I made my short list.
1. I read more.
2. I study and appreciate the art we have around the house more.
3. I play with my dogs more. They show off to me. I show off to them.
4. I’m more mindful of what I’m doing while I’m doing it.
5. I spend less money buying useless stuff.
6. I write letters to friends in longhand. A few I even mail.
7. I uncover old family photographs. In some I have hair. And it’s black.
8. I go up and down the stairs often. At times, I know why I’m doing it.
9. I think of people I love and why I love them.
10. I’m learning to play the tuba.
11. I catch myself more quickly when I’m telling little lies. Like #10.
