It’s been awhile. How are you?

It’s been madness in my world. The start of the school year. The drop off, the pick up and balancing of work and life in general. And yes, we are still living under the pandemic. 

You are probably asking, Is it over yet? And feeling SO over it. Yes, I hear you. And no, we will be living under the pandemic for a while still. There are some things in life we can change and control, this is NOT one of them. 

So, let’s focus on things that we can control. Our health, our family, friends and outlook in life. We have to keep on living the life we have NOW and not be so worried about all the things we don’t have.

Today, I am counting my blessings. The warmth of the sun, the shelter of a home, the love and support of my family and friends, the income from my job and my health, physically and mentally. All of which are not perfect but enough to give me hope and courage to deal with whatever comes our way.

And of course YOU. Thank you for sharing this journey with me and reminding me to keep doing what I love, writing and sharing about things that matter. 

What are some things you are grateful for?
