Strange Things 2020

Randy Newman's song Strange Things gives 2020 the theme it deserves. The song was apart of the Disney's movie Toy Story which premiered in 1995. 2019 ended on a high note for most, not really fretting the dangerous virus that lurked in the shadows. Then early in 2020 the virus unleashed its wrath taking out...

Invisible Enemy

These days, I find myself staring at covid-19. I’m constantly reminded of the invisible enemy from radio/television commercials, texts from family members, endless zoom meetings, working from home, face masks or no face masks, six feet stickers or tape everywhere I look. I’m sure you’re facing the same. We are all faced with this and...

Human Touch

Experiencing the new normal is almost comical but also kinda depressing. My boss personally delivered a sweet surprise to me for my hard work. She handed it to me and stepped back – we’d normally hug during this type of exchange. We kind of just laughed about the “air hug.” The exchange was a tad...

Staycation

A few weeks ago I wrote about Blurred Lines and Cabin Fever. I'd like to revisit the same sort of topic/theme. Why? Well, I went to the office today to pick up some supplies and realized how much I miss being in the office. *gasp* But I thought you liked working from home!? You even...

Through The Window

I feel dazed ascontact with realityis partially lost.Loss of vacations,In office work,birthday celebrations,graduations –even your touch.Life is lived in the details,with no mercy in sight --This is our great loss. Anxiety ridden thoughtsI’m afraid of:being sick,dying alone,the end never comes,no sense of normalcy. During the bombings,in the bunker I socializedwe all sharedthe same fate. Uncertainty...

day ? — Things get interesting

I only know when it's Monday and when it's Friday. The other days tend to be jumbled. If it wasn't for my calendar being filled with meetings and reminders (Thank Goodness!) for said meetings, I'd be at a loss right about now. My inbox grows daily because what would have been in person conversations have...

Day 24-25 | Conceal

The last 24 hours have been something out of a movie. When I stay at home (which I do 90% of the time), its just me. Occasionally I'll see the neighbors walk their dogs or run around, however they aren't wearing masks or gloves when doing so. Yesterday I had to get some milk and...

Day 19 – 22: Community

There's no place quite like this. Endless woods untouched by humans. Dirt roads are perfect after a rain storm for muddin. The main roads here don't belong to cars, they are for tractors hauling cattle and hay down yonder.Every Sunday, church bells call to these small town folk, reminding them that this is God's country....

Day 17 | Learning Curve

With all that has happened in the last month I'd say, we've all been faced with a major curve. No, I'm not talking about the COVID-19 slow the curve, I'm referring to the learning curve. We may have lived in a tech savy world but I think now more than ever are we utilizing all...
