I don't think I was elected as the Pollyanna of this Blog but since I choose to live a life of Rainbows and Unicorns, the shoe seems to fit. I'm so grateful for online banking! How easy it is to transfer money, pay bills, make donations to good causes, and check to see if I have over-spent at the same time. What fun! I used to think money was a SERIOUS BUSINESS. turns out it isn't, just a way to get what we need and keep our ships afloat. I simply love being able to pay for my gas at the pump. No rubbing elbows with the riffraff at the Q.T. Just gas up and on my way! I remember gas wars in the 60s, when I paid $0.25 a gallon and had to talk to the guys at the station. Maybe for that price I would be willing to go inside and pay? And then there is Amazon Prime!! Oh joy, talk about the world at our fingertips!! Books, art supplies, car parts and clothes all there, at any time, late night shopping at its best. I got new supplies delivered overnight!!! it was great! The levels of convenience foods would shock my Grandmothers. In our 3 meals a day life now, having prepared foods in the freezer is such a treat. Amy's Bowls are gluten free and have lots of varieties, most of them not the ordinary stuff I usually fix. And Costco makes a great meatloaf that just has to be baked at home. Not to mention all the food delivery services: Grubhub and DoorDash are my favorites. It is a strange world we live in, now. With threats from so many forces in our world and internal terrorist hiding in plain sight in our cities, it is hard to feel safe. The added possibility of Covid or one of its variations does add an element of stress to my everyday life. Maybe I like these services because they allow me to stay in my cocoon and not have to get out into the broader world. But fear doesn't keep me from emergency trips to the Starbucks down the street for my Ices Venti Latte with non-fat milk and sugar free vanilla and an extra shot. I have chosen to embrace the decadence of this world full force. --donna
