We Humans are Amazing

Friday -- Bright beautiful cold morning with 3 C below zero. Rain 
in forecast. April showers May flowers. It is already May but I can't 
see any flower in the gardens around my neighbored. I think 
everyone following stay home directive because of virus.

It is 9.15, I am staying in my room with my computer. Couple 
of weeks back, my eldest grandson fractured his ankle. We made 
some sleeping adjustments because of that.

Before going downstairs for breakfast, I try to make sure that my son 
and my daughter in law are awake. We have to be cautious to not to 
disturb anyone around. 

Living with family is demanding for everyone in the house, not only 
for we seniors. Everyone has to pitch in, for the peace and harmony 
of the house, we live in. We have to be flexible to make adjustments, 
to coordinate with others.

My youngest grandson came to sleep in my room. He was awake whole 
night, must be playing video games. Sometimes he comes to sleep in my 
room. He knows, I never use my bed during day time. 

My daughters use to call me in the morning. It is already afternoon at 
their place in England. I messaged them, to call me later. I don't want 
to disturb my grandson, let him sleep for a while.

I am going through my Facebook messages, for now. My Grade five friend 
from Australia, mentioned in her message that here in Perth, we don't need 
AC or Heating like in Canada. Weather is comfortable most of the times.

Before that she used to live in Dubai. She mentioned that over there 
AC is a must. Sometimes power break down used to be for three to four 
days, at that time we had no choice but to move to some of our friend's 
or family member's place, to take refuge.

We talked about the old days of our student life. We had electricity 
in our town, after we finished our Master's Degree. We used to live 
in the same neighborhood. 

We still remember, doing dissections of earthworms, cockroaches and 
frogs, under the light of lantern, using pins and needles. Making our 
own dissecting Dishes, spreading cheap melted wax in small used 
containers. 

After recalling all that, I realize that we Humans are amazing.
We can adapt and able to handle any given circumstances. Make
changes in our living to coordinate with whatever is available. 
We can survive and adjust. Just takes a while.
