It is the time of the year when I reflect on things past and how thankful I am for my life and what I have.

I know I should feel sad. I have lost a cousin, brother-in-law, uncle, one nephew, and almost lost his brother all to COVID. But I am thankful because I have become closer to family and friends. I have thought about what I want to do going forward with my life. Thanksgiving does that to me every year, but especially this year.

For the most part, I am home alone. I thought it would bother me, but all my life, there has always been someone I was taking care of or helping take care of, even as a child. Now, it is peaceful, so I am treasuring this time. I have time to read and watch a few movies(Christmas stories on Hallmark channels).

I am podcasting, and I started this blog. Next month I will have an intro program. I will share more on this project later. The year 2021 is going to be a great year! I can hardly wait!

I am curious! How do you feel about the things happening around you? Are you spending more time with family friends? I know we have to do this by Zoom, but are we not fortunate to do that? What are your plans for the rest of this year? Have you planned next year? I would love to hear your story of handling the COVID situation and the plans you have. Share your thoughts and feelings in the comments. I am so excited about next year, and I hope you are as well. Until tomorrow, stay safe, and keep the faith.
