Desire less...

There are two ways to get enough.
One is to continue to accumulate more and more.
The other is to desire less.

— G.K. Chesterton (English writer, philosopher, lay theologian and literary and art critic. He has been referred to as the “prince of paradox” and the “Apostolate of Common Sense”).

In this Covid quarantine, we’re certainly reduced to enjoying the simple things; food, sleep, fresh air (with the appropriate social distance of course), chatting with friends (over email, phone, Zoom/Skype). I enjoyed a Brady Bunch sized Zoom Love in on Friday night with some of my fav girlfriends and it was beautiful and teary. A lot of us are lonely and craving connection, in the almost complete absence of contact. We were so happy to see/hear each other and we laughed at the different, yet eerily similar stories of this weird time; waiting outside in line ups at the grocery store, drug store, liquor store, close quarter squabbles, struggling to find something new to watch on Netflix and wondering when we’ll ever get to hug each other again, let alone enjoy a weekend or warm get away. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Blessings,

Chatgirl
