Missing Life

                                                Photo by  Matt Hoffman  on  Unsplash I miss life! I know I am blessed to still be able to go into my office and work. I am considered essential because of working with children, but its those after hours, those weekends, when I really miss life. Quarantine has us all in our own little bubbles. It has us learning new crafts. Thank you YouTube. It has us inventing new dinners, because you cannot go out to eat. It has us held like a prisoner in our own homes. This virus is deadly and we all want to be safe, but I just want to say UNCLE! I am still just going to work, home, repeat. I am just doing what you all are doing to stay safe. There are people who have made all sorts of jokes about this virus. Like its interfering with taco Tuesday and corona is stopping it.(that not the whole joke) but you get t...

There are teachers teaching history and kids raising hands on commercials online saying but teacher what about 2020. The teacher tells them it was cancelled. Covid-19 has come in like a wrecking ball. It was here in January and for whatever reason it was not dealt with. Now it is a pandemic. People are ,rightfully so, wearing masks, gloves and whatever they can do distance wise they are doing. But while I would be amiss to dismiss 2020 as a year to be skipped, I  see a lot of good that is coming out of this. I see people in Italy singing off balconies, people writing large notes and talking to neighbors this way, I see other people sewing masks that people so desperately want and need. With all the darkness of ...
