What is there to say?

I am…

anxious 

frustrated

determined

resilient

lucky

loved

scared

apprehensive

confused

amused

bored

overwhelmed.

I wish…

I could find my focus

That I knew when this would end so I could “enjoy” it more

I had more comfy sweatpants

I’d bought more toilet paper before the world went crazy

I trusted our leaders

My teenagers were at school with their friends

I didn’t panic whenever I hear someone sneeze

For exactly the family I have.

I am thankful for…

Time, at home, with my kids (even when they bicker)

The sun

For the healthcare workers and truck drivers and grocery store clerks and teachers and…

Smiling faces of colleagues on Zoom

Snuggles with Daisy

Books to write and read 

New recipes and people at home to eat 

Texting with friends 

Exercise and meditation and

Time.
