hello

20220821_172311

Alyssia…Positive.   All though ,  are OK.   I have one more day since exposure,  but i am ok.   

SO.   Covid…we meet you.   After all this time,  2 years plus?…..finally.   OK.   and we are OK.       I think about it all,  how 2 years ago or so there were not enough freezer trucks for the bodies.   It's been maybe a little clumsy at times,   but Science has served us well.   I am grateful for the vaccinations,  for the boosters.  For the final clearance for children.   Emrie had gotten the first of the three allowed for her age group.    We had hunkered down.   Then Jeff came.  and now,  Emrie attends school with 21 other children.   Last Wednesday,  i chose to Hug.  and will choose to again.   and again.

We talk.   Jenny,  Alyssia and I,  sharing all that we know and all that we Think.   Will come up with the Best Way We Know and go forward.    Trust.  vs   Fear.    We Trust in doing the Best we can.   the actual Thing of Fear being an ally…keeping us alert. but only that.    

after all these months…since April when i planted the seed….there is a

GREEN BEAN

    Trust vs Fear … it’s how each day goes now. Yes .. remembering back when fear was overwhelming .. I’m so grateful not to have lost a loved one knowing I am one of the lucky ones. Good news that you’re all ok.

    GREEN BEAN! Exciting. Your artwork reminds me of the artist Charles Vess, with tiny figures in fantastic settings. https://greenmanpress.com/select-work-gallery/
    Hope everyone continues to be okay. Hugging is so important.

    Away from here due to family visiting, they leave tomorrow and it astonishes me how much we have packed into these days…so I come here and Covid has come to la familia: Wrapping my arms around you all in “hugs”, in love and in the fact that you have, and continue to do all that you can do, to deal with all of this but, Emrie and school, jeez! I hope that by now, she has tested negative and can get back to school.
    My daughter and son in law who are here and who had Covid in late July, still do not feel 100% in terms of energy…it drags, but can be managed. May it be so for all of you in la familia who have Covid.
    I take the green bean as a very good sign of pushing on through…

    I don’t know exactly what you’ve drawn here–probably a branch with leaves and ??. However, what I see fits the words. It is an owl holding a branch (maybe smelling it?) in her right wing and reaching out with her left wing to embrace her owlet.

    Grace~ Oh rats!! The vaccines and boosters really do help…along with Throat Coat tea and cough medicine. One of our problems was we were positive together, so who could shop for food and meds? I agree with Marti, for some (thinking of my good friend here) the low energy lingers…for me it has been the cough (still). We have indeed come So Far since those early days. With my asthma, I was so scared to get it…but I did okay. My friend (same one) has a paralyzed vocal cord…so she was in a place of fear too. But, she was really okay enough, with only a few bouts of choking.
    I will keep you all in my thoughts Every Day. xo

    My best wishes to her.
    And you, too.
