Welcome
I am learning patience. Still.
Fall squarely upon us now, trees being unveiled and the world is readying itself for winter's rest. Trying to find pleasure in the oncoming cold and gray winter tho admittedly it is a difficult task for me. Rough year so far; I hear many people wishing for 2021 to hurry up and get here. Back in 2017 I thought the same thing. It was a rough year back then, broke my hip, was bedridden for months, and I was complaining about the year going by so slowly and painfully. But soon the next year things got worse. I ended up having several operations and got a horrible infection in my bones. Many months of rehabilitation where I couldn't walk or see friends or family members. Then my sister died. For all my wishing for the 2017 year to hurry up and go I was met with a worse 2018. So I am treading lightly on the wishing for the next year to get here, and trying to learn to be patient. Still my fingers are crossed.
So I'll say it's still a fascinating time in history to be alive. I pray we come out of this pandemic, election drama, and winter better, patient, and kinder people.
