It has been months since I've posted something. The pandemic has been so prevalent this past year, and I just did not want to write about it - YET, it effected every aspect of my life.
The arrival of Spring (and my Covid vaccine) has given me hope of a "normal" lifestyle, once again. Lord knows, I've had to define "normal" several times these past years.... I'm good at it now!
Whereas I have always been cognizant and grateful for my blessings, this past year has taught me a lot:
- EVERYDAY is precious.
- I am working hard to disregard 'the small stuff'.
- I have learned that dinner does not have to be a production.... but some simple nourishment.
- My granddaughters are growing up so quickly - therefore I never skip an opportunity to get on the floor and play with them.
- I wear the good clothes - even if we are just sitting in the living room - what am I saving them for?
- I look at my watch a lot less - and notice the flowers a lot more.
- I take better care of myself now... I actually see a doctor now and then to keep my blood pressure under control.
- I have removed deadlines from my life - they serve no purpose at this stage of my life.
- My dad used to say, "you don't need a lot of money, you just need enough money". I worry about money a lot less these days...
I will continue my efforts to live a happy life - I only have one shot at this and I intend on doing it with a smile.
