The Silver Lining

I sit here.
My planner open, pencil in hand, casually scribbling over all the events.
That didn't happen.
That won't happen.
The fact that I have to sit, through ten more weeks, of going nowhere.
Seeing no one, but the same people, every day.
It seems so, unnatural. 
And yet, exactly what we need.
So yes, I wish things weren't canceled.
And I wish we didn't have to stay home.
But I can't control that.
We can't control that.
So use your resources.
Experiment, and have fun.
This may turn out to be exactly what we needed.

    But in my head, my friend named Natalie lifted the pen and passed it to me.
