The doors opened at exactly 7 am and the first group of 20 were able to enter the store. I had my plan all figured out. I would enter into the produce area and get the 7 items that I needed and then rush over to the chicken area. The store did not have the chicken breast that my husband and I like, but they did have chicken strips. Each customer had a limit of 2 packages of chicken. I grabbed my chicken and then rushed over to the other area of the store getting bread, some Tostitos chips, milk and eggs. There were only about 4 trays of brown caged eggs. So I grabbed one and off to the self-checkout. I was in and out in about 35 minutes. Not bad.
As I was pushing my buggy in the store, I almost collided with another man. He stopped and let me by, making sure I had my six feet. I acknowledged him and told him "thank you" and said "this is the new norm". He laughed and off he went.
Today I made sure that I had some normalcy happening at the house. I washed sheets and cleaned the bathrooms, vacuumed, etc. Right now every one needs to keep as close as they can to a normal routine even thought right now, life is not normal.
Normalcy is so important for everyone. As I have read several history books, especially regarding prisoner of wars and people that were in concentration camps, they all stressed that they had to have some normalcy to survive.
As I enjoyed my walk this afternoon with the bright sun shining down on me, I enjoyed seeing more and more plants popping up from the ground. This is definitely a sign of springtime and this is normal. Once again God provided a flower to show me that life will be back to normalcy. He didn't say when, but it is coming.
