I Love ...

Wow. The past six weeks have been quite a test for the world. Covid-19 has turned the world on it's edge, and we are still in the middle of it. As with most of history, these things have happened in the past, and they will happen in the future, but this is the first pandemic of this proportion in my lifetime.

The first two weeks were surreal, and it was easy to be full of positivity that we could get through this all together. (Even with experiencing my first ever earthquake in Utah during that first week, too.)

Hubs stocked up on necessities and some food storage, in case we contracted the virus and couldn't get out for a few weeks. Now, we are only going out for groceries and medical needs. And with the weather changing, the occasional walks.

Darling son has been hiking several times a week. And he has started our backyard garden. Thank goodness for spring.

I won't lie - the past two weeks have been hard. I've felt lower than normal for various reasons. Cover-19 is like putting a lid on a pressure cooker, and everything just wants to bubble to the surface. Overwhelming, to say the least.

There's been a lot of good going on, tho. I hope when people reflect back on this time, they can remember those good things. Sometimes the good things feel far away. Then one day you wake up and realize life is going on and that dwelling on the negative has never felt good, so let's get back to as normal a life as possible in these circumstances, right?

Well, this was going to be a post about what I love. Maybe I overshot the mark. So I'll end by saying goodnight, stay safe, and I love s'more flavored pop tarts.
