We have come almost full circle. I have written nothing. But, I have been reading, watching way too much Netflix and Prime Video. On this day, I grieve the loss of so many people, some to COVID, some to other causes. We are now, as a state and a nation, in the process of vaccinating in the expectation of putting the brakes on this runaway train. We have waited almost a year now and I know that I, for one have run the gamut of emotions from depression and anxiety to calm and learning to really think things out. This pandemic has caused me to slow down, not be so impulsive in my wanting everything to be "normal" or whatever the term might be for where I once was. I am certain that whatever I once was or where-ever I once was, I cannot return. It is still a recognizable me, but this me has changed. This me has gained a new understanding of relationships and made some connections where they weren't before.
I have gained insight into myself in a way that was probably not possible otherwise. I have learned to be patient and to trust God and other people in my life more, more than the "normal" track I was on to a new "normal."
To all who have read this blog, God's peace be with you. God's love be with you. Learn to cherish other people as God cherishes you. You are a child of God and loved by God more than our imaginations could possibly conceive.
