what's up

for all that we can do - the things we can't do drive me crazy

I’ve been working on my website - it’s been neglected far too long.

I’ve been wearing out Spotify - I may have listened to every song.

I walk five miles a day - because you’ve got to get outside

and I can easily spend an hour a day on “Just Dance” exercise.

I’ve been taking free on-line courses at “open university”

They have a thousand choices - an almost endless diversity.

Have you ever heard of “Headspace” - it can help you to relax

If you haven’t tried meditation for stress - I think it’s unsurpassed.

I’m learning about meal planning and cooking things with ease

I’ve been Zooming with a friend in China, to freshen up my Cantonese.

Even with a thousand distractions - this lockdown is driving me crazy

But it isn’t because I have nothing to do, and it isn’t because I’m lazy.

People just need people - so that we can laugh, love and compete,

or simply be together - that’s how humans feel complete.

Your last stanza is very true for most of the people, I know. Though, I usually don't meet people regularly and I used used to spend most of my time at my haunt, I've been missing my coaching institute, the only place to where I have been regular in the past couple of years.
"I walk five miles a day - because you’ve got to get outside", does this mean strict lockdown has been lifted up out there?
This lockdown has driven me crazy, yes. A week back I had a 'closed car trip' to 70 kms away and it was raining. I really felt like I was out of my home for the first time since my birth =)

If I walk in my neighborhood I can go mile without even seeing another person - i know what you mean about going somewhere - anywhere seeming like the first time in YEARS (instead of about 5 months)
