Surprised by the Sunshine

Last week my baby boy was home from college and we celebrated his birthday…and we hada lovely time with him…

The week was fabulous and ended well…but alas it did end…and he has to go back to his town and his job and his apartment and his life. I winced when he called it home….but that’s what we are supposed to do…give them wings.

Saturday, my husband and I worked at our store and then went out. It was a lovely night. Actually warm enough to walk around outside. Our town was being very cautious with mask wearing and supporting small businesses and as a small business owner…nothing makes me happier.

I was actually giddy…a fabulous meal with a lovely waitress…it felt like forever since we had done that.

Sunday our daughter was baptized. She has been wanting to do this for a long time../but finally got up the courage to do it.

She then had a violin recital….and that was awesome as well.

In years past….I would have taken these events for granted. Concentrated on the negative…instead of looking at the weekend and the glorious beauty of just living a normal life feels like.

I’m so tired of washing masks daily…I’m so tired of not being able to hug people. However, because we have become more serious about masks the numbers are going back down…and that makes me so very happy.

I admit in the beginning that I believed the CDC and thought the masks were ineffective …but now I see with my own eyes…that they are what allows us to remain open and continue on with somewhat of a normal life.

I pray that holidays finds you well and happy. I pray you remember your fellow man and be socially responsible.
