New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on.

First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.  

People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.  

Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need.

It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight.

People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways humankind steps up and takes the high road.  And pretty unequal to any task are those who in the name of God have lost all sense of what real humanity is.  It's utterly discouraging and absurdly ridiculous to try and make sense of.... a losing battle.  I digress though, I'd rather focus on the high road.  It's the only thing getting many of us through.

In July I made a decision.....

Sort of gave myself an ultimatum. No longer was I going to hole-up.... Not because of my health, not because of my body,  not because of any other insecurities that  rob me of moments  truly worth living. And I haven't. And August was one of the best months in  my 49 years of life.   And though sunflowers have always been for me been one of God's greatest  creations, seeing a field of miles and miles of them in northern Michigan  this summer brought me back to the symbol they have always stood for to me  and this simple phrase of words "face the Son".... my new mantra.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Love languages

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ I've always known the love language my children speak.... since they were little. Rob took me a bit longer. I know my parents languages and lately I've been thinking much more about my siblings, Rob's siblings, and my dearest friends. It's taken years to figure out which one I am..... since it's been kind of a tie between three.... but recently, it finally happened.  And although it's one I'm not super pleased about, it is me.  It's what makes me feel secure and safe and loved.  And just because someone doesn't show me love in this certain way (because obviously we all have our own language), it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a connection with them.  It just means that in my deeply closest, most personal and intimately emotional relationships, this area is what does it for my heart.... and it's how my heart gives and shows it to others.
