Wake up Everybody...

 As Thanksgiving approaches, I am struck at how different this year will be.  I realize the whole world is upside down now.  And mine certainly is!  Usually, Randy and I bomb up north for our annual family celebration with my side of the family.  Lisa and Steve always host a day that is everything Thanksgiving should be.


This year things are odd...Randy is still hospitalized and fighting as hard as he can with the Covid virus. I am muddling along trying to find meaning in every day.  The fear and concern I have for him is physically paralyzing, making it hard to concentrate on anything.  Nothing is the same and I pray fervently that he gets well soon.  My life is nothing without him.


But, I am thankful. Friends and family have been so supportive-with texts, calls, cards and messages.  Prayers and thoughts, love and support are the things that get me through my days (daze!).   I am also very thankful for the doctors and nurses for their professional and dedicated care for Randy.  And for 'face time' which allows me two short visits every day-since live visits are not available at this time.   


All those annoying idioms are haunting me...'it is what it is.' 'What will be will be.'  And 'the best is yet to come.'  And the most important on that is ringing true for me is, 'When you have your health, you have everything!'  Stay healthy and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.


P.S.  Happy Birthday to my Mom!  We will celebrate together soon.  XO
