I Am Thankful.

Wow, how does one put everything they are grateful for into words...

I guess to sum up as best I know how I would have to say I am beyond thankful for this wild and wacky adventure called life.

I'm thankful for those who share in the journey alongside me, for those who have played their part in my story and moved on their own way, for those who have yet to enter my story and change the world as I know it. My family and dearest friends always beside me.

I'm thankful for the good times that are forever mine to cherish, and the tough times that always have a lesson to teach and grow me.

I'm thankful for eyes to see the beauty of the world around me, ears to hear the sweetest sounds, feet to take me to places I've never been before or to lead me back home again, hands to hold up those around me who are too tired to carry on alone, a tongue to taste the richness the world has to offer, and a heart to feel every emotion to its fullest.

I'm thankful for the sunshine to warm me, rain to soothe the soul, snow to blanket the world in sparkling beauty, moonlight to allow me to see in the darkness, and the stars that speckle the night sky.

I'm thankful for stories to lose myself in and learn from. The storytellers who share pieces of themselves in those stories to show me I am not alone.

I am thankful for hot cups (and cold cups) of coffee in the morning and hot cups of tea before bed. They really are hugs for the soul.

I'm thankful for the seasons. Spring with its new life and vibrant green colors. Summer for its sunshine and energy. Fall for its bursts of color and crisp weather. Winter for the beautiful snow and the bare nakedness of nature.

So what am I thankful for? I am not sure how to say it other than...

I am thankful.

A New Adventure!

After months of contemplation, I have finally decided to take the plunge and begin my very own blog! Creating a new blog has proven of itself to be an incredible adventure! At first I wasn't sure if I should let anyone know my contemplations, but I figured there is nothing wrong with reaching out into your social circles to find a little help, and boy did it deliver! I had no idea blogs were such a huge part of people's lives.  I suppose that is a part of my ignorance on the entire thing. Hmm... Where was I? Oh right! The adventure of creating this blog. Well, after I had reached out to people for input on where to begin, I received tons of input on which sites were best, who preferred what, etc.  My mind was spinning like a carousel (I prefer carousel over merry go round...sounds a bit more...fancy? grown up?) I had no idea there were so many options to explore. One friend, who is an avid blogger, went through the basics with me, and told me that over everything else the

A Covid-19 World

Closed indefinitely. Social distancing. No toilet paper. Sold out. No mask no service. Sanitize everything. Stay home. Wash your hands for twenty seconds. Stay six feet apart.  We are living in a world we never dreamed we would see. We see grief. Grief over loss of normalcy. Grief over the loss of loved ones. Grief over the loss of jobs. Grief over lost opportunities. Grief over being isolated from loved ones. Grief for plans being ruined. Grief is raw. Grief is hard to bare. It gives us a glimpse into the depths of the soul, and shouldn't be rejected, but rather rejoiced in as odd as that may sound. We shouldn't rejoice in the cause of the grief, but grief itself is a powerful thing. It allows us to perceive truth and beauty in ways we may have never seen it before.  We see everyone moving about day by day wondering when and if this will ever end.   We see the best in people come out. We see museums, theatres, and attractions all streaming their content for free
