Plan B
“Time passes. The world turns, and we turn with it, and though we can never go back to the beginning, sometimes, we can start again.”

So... Plan B Day. It's Easter, but families can't get together, so we made do with phone calls. There are no church services this Easter Sunday. Plan B was online church services. I got up early and took a drive to take a photo of something that was no longer there... Plan B was a nice leisurely drive taking photos elsewhere... followed by what I actually planned to be Plan B... to take my daily photo in a place other than the farm that I have been challenging myself to find a new photo to take each day... but that place was roped off with police tape and closed... so Plan B became Plan A and I was back to my original plan in my original location... I guess that makes it Plan B?! So, I set my flowers down on the windowsill of a very broken window while I looked around for inspiration, trying to decide what this old farmhouse would offer up to me today. And then I turned around and saw the light hitting the flowers on the windowsill of that terribly smashed window that I have never used in a shot before because it was just too broken, and the light was never right... until now. And it worked.So, time is passing. Most days fly by, but when I think about it, it seems like it has been a very long time since I have been to work. There were 8 new Corona cases in my town today, but that is a 24% increase from yesterday. We can't enter a business without a face mask... and I did have to stop at Home Depot today... and it's a maze... I can't figure out which door they want us to enter through, where we are supposed to pay, or which door they want us to exit through, so I am hoping that I have all I need and won't have to go out there again... because it's too Twilight Zonish. Have you noticed that no one even looks at anyone else anymore? There is absolutely no interaction.But, hey! What about the good news!! The starry starry nights!! People are noticing that with less cars on the road, businesses closing, industries shutting down, and less air travel, that the fog and smog has cleared out, air quality is better than ever... and people are noticing the sparkling clear night sky! How awesome is that?!! And this morning, everyone I worked with reached out in texts to each other to wish them a Happy Easter. That has never happened before either. Yup, the world keeps turning and together we will get through this... and maybe things will never go back to the way that they were... but maybe... just maybe... they will be better! Like this old broken window, that I thought was too broken to be good for anything ... but when the light hits it just right, it's still good... and when the skies clear... the stars shine brighter! Maybe the Universe has a Plan B in store for all of us... and maybe it's even better than Plan A. (Yes, let's go with that...) As always, stay well out there!
