Wow…six months can bring a world of changes, hmm?
I went into 2020 planning to return to the
blogging world on a regularly schedule, only to have to stop. THAT is another topic all together and one I
probably will not be discussing but, alas…it has passed, and I can move clearly
into my life…MY LIFE…beautiful words.
It almost seems as if so much has happened I should
use bullet points! I am not even sure
where to start... 2020 began quietly
with nothing special on the horizon, or so it seemed.
Then Covid-19 arrived. Nope…I did not see that one coming!
All the while Covid-19 was rattling the world, my dear, sweet baby boy was entering his last semester of high school and this crazy pandemic turned his world upside down. Right in the middle of what is usually some of the most fun and memorable moments of your high school career, he was literally and figuratively “grounded”… but not by me! He and his friends were troopers, though, and social distanced and wore/wear masks and they made the best of not seeing each other for weeks on end.
His college orientation weekend was canceled and
rescheduled to be an online experience.
He didn’t get a last day of school, yearbook signing, goofy senior
pranks, Awards Day or prom…but he did get graduation!
As May came into view our school made the decision to schedule
graduation and it turned out different, but beautiful, and very special. Though we celebrated with a limited amount of
family and friends, it was still so nice to have something sort of normal!
When Covid-19 began making waves, I was working in a job I liked, in an industry (Hospice) that I admire, and think is very important. I must admit, working in the medical field, even outside of direct patient care, was quite unsettling as Covid-19 rolled in and shook everyone up. Outside of my view God was at work in my world and He, out of the blue, presented me with a career that I had always wanted, working with a fabulous team of dedicated professionals and the opportunity to give back directly to MY community in a way that I had missed with my previous position in which I was traveling all the time. It was a gift I never saw coming and I was excited to be back “in town” and not being on the road so much!
So...I guess this is bullet point 1! I will be back with bullet point 2 of 2020 soon!
CONGRATS to you sweet son!!!!!
