Uncomfortable. Challenging. Scary. Uncertain.
These aren’t normally the words used to describe Thanksgiving, but the pandemic has turned the world on its head and it seems nothing will ever be “normal” again. Personally, things are not going as well as I might like! I am in the midst of an extended search for work (long story) which has caused a considerable amount of stress and financial worry. My youngest son and family have all been exposed to COVID-19 and are awaiting test results. Some dear friends have lost relatives or are waiting for their loved ones to recover. Writing, my one true joy, has been spotty and difficult during all this turmoil.
Still, I am thankful for so very much! I have what I need, most of my large family is doing well, I’m still healthy, and slowly but surely, the book I’m working on is coming together. As always, God has been good to me, prompting a heightened awareness of my many blessings. I do not know your circumstances, but I hope you will take a moment to look for the good and give thanks. And please, take the recommended precautions to keep your self and others safe!
I'd love to hear from you!
