It's been awhile since I've last updated my blog, but I'm going to give it a try. Excuse my scattered thoughts, too, as I attempt to put them down in an organized way.
Life is changed as we all learn how to cope with this new pandemic in the world.
That said, I think we've been blessed in that we've had a good distraction in our home. Katie and little boy Aaron have been hunkering down with us, and with a baby boy in the house, there are many normal day to day things to think about, instead of constant scary things on the news ...
Will the world ever be normal again? I've never lived through something like this before, so I don't really know. I'm now missing things that I've always taken for granted. A lot of personal freedoms that have always been there are now being restricted as we try to stay safe and healthy at home. I miss being close to my people. I miss being able to just get up and go to wherever. I miss comfortable shopping at the grocery store. Now there are so many things missing on the shelves, things that were always there before. People are super stressed! And what's up with the toilet paper? Where is all the toilet paper??? 😂
I worry about the people in my life. I wonder if I'll lose any of my people.
So, we try to be normal. We take walks to the park, keeping 6 feet away from others. We have our late night happy hours in the living room with delicious boxed wine and cheese and potato chips. We sometimes turn on the news updates, but they have a way of making one feel even worse. And we try to be thankful for all that we have ... a comfortable home, plenty of food, and family.
I'm thinking that a little prayer now and then helps, too.
