Day in the life of Covid-19

I saw the sunshine today but was busy keeping warm at work today. 
 The kids were able to play outside, though.  Glad for family able to support us today.

Also proud of John taking the initiative to help out the community the best way he knows how.

Remembering how to breathe

Image
Hi there!  It has been a while. I will take the fact I haven't felt the need to write here the past few years as a good sign.  While we have journeyed through multiple seasons in the past four years, we have found our way somehow.  That is something to be proud of. Now I'm feeling compelled to share my thoughts and experiences again.  There are new challenges, goals, fears, and concerns to discuss.  I am pretty sure there are others out there with similar experiences that need encouragement.  I also know there are those that don't relate, but I want to share my perspective to maybe broaden some views. There are a lot of suggestions of changes for our world right now.  Some are pretty scary and others could possibly be good.  Finding the balance between holding our breath and taking in a deep breath is hard.  The phrase just breathe just doesn't cut it these days.

Chill of Summer

There are still about a dozen days of summer before autumn makes its official appearance.   Even so, there has already been a chill in the air during these last few days of summer. One could blame the recent hurricanes for the chill in the weather, but there is another kind of chill creeping in. My daughter sought warmth this morning with her winter coat.   Not until she actually tested the temperature herself, did she believe that a light jacket will suffice.   My body felt tinged with cold yesterday and today.   A battle of the air conditioner against the cold temperatures outside; the house just could not feel warm.   But there was another kind of coldness as well. The summer warmth of time spent together at a relaxed paced has crept away as the busy schedules of school, homework, interviews, and appointments crowded in over the past month. I find myself drawn into the role of student.   I am reading three books at once, wi...

Don't forget me Mommy

"Don't forget me Mommy!" These words came out of my youngest child's mouth this evening as he prepared to go upstairs for bed with his Daddy.  Such simple words heavy with so much meaning.  I can't imagine forgetting the person that wakes me up each morning at 6:30AM and is one of the last people I see before I fall asleep.  But for this little guy, he needs the reassurance that Mommy will still be there when he needs me.  The evening had some rough moments.  Lessons being taught about not punching sister.  Tears of frustration for not getting his way.  Seeking comfort with mom, but being told milk time would have to wait until bed.  Being three can be so hard.  As parents we try to set good guidelines and examples and be there for reassurances when needed. Hence, the "Don't forget me Mommy!" request tonight.  Eventually he won't need mommy at bedtime.  Time with friends will replace time with mom.  An occasional cal...
