Dear diary<br />
ends meet. As the life we once knew was<br />
taken away overnight, pretty much literally,<br />
I freaked out and over reacted. But, at<br />
the same time it was wonderful to have life<br />
put into perspective and make the important<br />
parts clearer than ever, most specifically<br />
God had given us time and each other.<br />
We had time to sit down and spend time<br />
with our kids while making memories<br />
doing all the little things we always said<br />
we were going to do. I also realize we were<br />
damn lucky! We NEVER had COVID-19,<br />
and we NEVER quarantined. How fortunate!<br />
I’m not sure if our vitamin regimen<br />
was the secret, but we are still sticklers on<br />
Vitamin C, elderberry, multivitamins and<br />
Vitamin D daily. While I do miss the simplicity<br />
the past year offered and the special<br />
times we were blessed to have with our<br />
children at home, at a young age, I hope they<br />
won’t remember all the cannots but rather all<br />
the special moments they did have. And, if<br />
nothing else resonates from all the darkness<br />
shed by a virus, I hope it’s that you can find<br />
the beauty in each and every day; look for the<br />
good and positive. n<br />
