Gratitude Project Day 14

Today, I am thankful that my little family is able to be together during this unprecedented time. I am thankful for all the bonding time that we won't normally have with our packed schedules. I am thankful that we have been able to re-connect and re-enforce the love we have for one another.  Our family bonding time has been so meaningful and at the same time trying.

However, so many people live alone or so many people have been forced to be alone right now due to the circumstances of COVID, such as visitors to prisons and retirement homes. These unprecedented times have been restrictive so much so that loved ones are unable to be together. Medical workers are isolated from their families, some by preventive choice for safety reasons, some because they are needed to stay and work. No matter the reason everyone in one way or another has been affected by the changes that have occurred.

So when nerves become frazzled and tempers short, I try to remember that this time together is a gift... because life is short and no one is promised tomorrow..
