Shopping Day

Since this covid thingie hit us all, like everyone else I started to develop new routines.
Now it's been a full year of changes and some of my changing have suited me well.
Use-to go shopping once a week. Now it's once a month!
My husband and I have decided..we will always follow this routine.
Just wanted to share this day with you.

The alarm goes off, 3am.
We leave the house at 5.
We are at Walmart at 6am
From there, Lowe's..Kroger's, TSC.

Yesterday the truck and car was loaded with 4wks of food, supplies and..toys/pretties馃槒

Every shopping trip puts me on a blessed high vibe!...I will always remember how different things were.

As I sip on my coffee, driving home after our shopping trip, on West Virginia long and winding back roads.....I was overjoyed, singing with the radio, driving real slow like too, being aware of all the things..trees, sunshine, my spirit.
Traveling back home we drive pretty must a 8-9 percent grade down hill. Then the road goes up for 5miles, and our driveway goes straight down..thru a mile of woods...into a holler!
Rattling on here..

An old 70s song came on...馃幎 I'm getting closer to my home 馃幍
Home IS a feeling not just a place!
Tears of gratitude and love filled my soul at that moment... and I do believe it will totally continue because of this positive mindset I am carrying these days.

You know... Life is good!

It seems more like an outing than shopping & errands when you rarely get out to shop. I used to go whenever I needed something because I live in the city, drop the boy off at school and go straight to Walmart for one thing but clearance shop all over the store some mornings...then maybe one or two stores, mostly for exercise & to get out of the house. These days I go to a locally based store in the next city about 3 times a month...drive through the countryside between our two cities & enjoy looking at the landscape, wild birds and rivers.

@cherokeepatti I related. A nice drive is underrated! Good for the soul. Being at peace is ... can't even think of the correct word.. is ..heavenly.
Yup, I love our home, where it is, the whole thing.. solitude, beautiful, quiet, birds and critters everywhere, my gardens. My life is full now.
Not with places and people. Huh.. 馃槉

Thanks! Have a blessed day 馃尫

@Stereoguy howdy! You know something.. not bragging.. too much.. 馃槑 I would rather cook my own then go out to eat. We use to go out once a week to a Chinese restaurant. It's been over a year now since we ate out.
I really enjoy to cook, make different dishes, put my own twist..seasoning in...
I did get rib eye steak to put on my grill yesterday. Yummy...
Make a loaded potato and one fine meal.
You take care my friend.
