What's changed for us in this season?
Everything off the calendar, dentist, hair appt, wedding, concerts, Easter, church gatherings, working sometimes in a tent, wearing masks at work, social distancing from hubby in the home and working hard to not fear giving Tim this virus. ( so that only lasted 3 weeks-we decided touch was necessary ) No time with grandchildren, roads less crowded, many businesses closed.
What has not changed for us.
Always safe, home to sleep, food to eat, friends and family who stay in contact, still working, still walking the dogie at the park.
Only spend a few shifts in the tent but have taken care of covid patients.
empty shelves in stores.
Parks and trails closed.
Charis says, Just so I NEVER forget..... April 2, 2020
This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 11th, 2020.
Why, you ask, do I write this status?
One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.
We have so much!
I don’t want to take for granted the little things when the pandemic ends.
Be thankful. Be grateful.
Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.
We are all one! ❤️
