It’s been too long, yes. Too long since we’ve been stuck inside, too long since we paused our lives in an effort to save them from this virus that has taken the world by storm. It’s tough these days to not focus on the things we’ve lost, including the way too many lives. Yes, we’re grieving, yes, we’re bored, yes, so much has changed, and we’re all eager to dance back into our old routines, ready to leave this time behind, tucked away behind a door with a “do-not-disturb” sign on it.

This past week I have been aching for travel, for that sense of wonder and freedom that won’t hurt me or those around me. Yet I stay put and I count my blessings. I’m healthy, my husband is healthy, and that is literally the best thing that we could have, not just now, but ever. So I choose to focus on that.

I hope you can focus on something that you have in your life, rather than what you don’t. Be well and stay safe.

Until next time.

xoxo,

Em
