It’a been a lifetime since I posted….. Surprisingly, life did not get slower for me during the pandemic. Rather, it went along at warp speed. My day job was intense and long- I had so much to do, caring for others from the basement of my home. The fear of the unknown. The unknown. But isn’t that really an everyday thing? So, I resorted to what brings me happiness, joy and wonder. I/We traveled in 2020- to Montana-twice, a roadtrip to Missouri. We wore masks in areas where people gave us the stink eye, we took wet wipes, I made wet wipes when there were none to be found, we stayed in air bnb’s that were pretty self contained and condo living. We got vaccinated as soon as we could and now, as much as we can. Why, because I love to travel, but I don’t want to endanger anyone.- Oh the places I/we went since the winter of 2020 and when the world “shut down” I hopped the big ponds to the west and then to the east. Oh the experiences I had, the stories I have told and will write. Our time is limited on this amazing and beautiful 3rd rock from the sun. No matter what is to come- as I have come to believe with knowing I have MacD(Macular degeneration), everyone needs to follow their dreams/passions. Go for it and along the way, take time to experience the world, your world.
What will you see today.
