(physical distancing)

(mental distancing)

(emotional distancing)

Sounds like a dream come true……all the things I’m good at.

Thank God it doesn’t involve distancing my husband and daughter.

Everything else, and everyone else, I can handle.

Sounds cold but it’s necessary.

For any other reason but saving the lives of others I probably couldn’t do it. But this is my chance to be a real super heroine and save the lives of everyone I know and love.

(I’m actually grinning and chuckling to myself at the moment, because it’s easy for me to say this and write this when every. single. person. Every one of them, that I would chose to visit is literally half the world away. So it’s really no skin off my nose. But I will still take the pat on the back)

So my world has shrunk figuratively, yet oh has it grown and changed and developed richer roots and more colorful fruit as I have devoted every waking moment to my one man and one child. Nothing could have prepared us for this closeness and yet now nothing could take it away.

I thank God every day for our health and our happiness and the simplicity of life as it was truly meant to be.

No, I don’t have any extended family or girlfriends or friends for my daughter but the one thing I have learned the past weeks is that not only am I enough for my family but that they are enough for me. Not only enough, but overflowing with laughter and learning and angst while growing. It’s been glorious. (Not to mention that my husband really enjoys the closeness and cuddling. I guess boredom is really the curse that is the cure…..*wink*)
