I've already posted the following on FB so apologies if you've already read it but it's currently how I'm feeling right now so thought I'd share it here too, with my other little online community, my blogging pals.
My Mother just asked me if I was bored yet. I said 'no Mum but I'm alive and for that I'm very grateful'. I have lots to stay alive for, not least of all my beautiful grandchildren, of which there are now 3 with the latest addition, a new baby grandson, just a week old. We're all dodging the bullet of Corona but by educating ourselves, listening to all the advice and heeding it, we can keep on dodging, keep on rocking and rolling and somewhere down this long and winding road, in the not too distant future, we will be able to tell our children and grandchildren about the awful year that was 2020 and how near to the cliff edge we all came and how thankful we all felt when at last we could fling open our doors and windows, breathe in the clean fresh air and hug each other like there was no tomorrow. There will be a tomorrow if we all want it hard enough. I know I do and I know what I have to do to get it so STAY SAFE, STAY HOME, STAY ALIVE people.
My daughter-in-law sent me this pic this morning and my heart is bursting for this little creature, snoozing in his crib wrapped in the big love blanket I made for him and blissfully unaware of the chaos going on around him in the outside world and I'm praying very hard for him and his Mummy, who is also battling the high blood pressure which is giving us all cause for concern right now, his Daddy, my beautiful Granddaughters and everyone else in my life who deserve every chance to dodge this bullet called Corona and I'm praying for all of you out there too, the ones who have unwittingly become my lifelines not just at this crucial time but at other times in my life when I've been feeling particularly low and the ones who drop in here from time-to-time and make the connection.

Love to each and every one of you and remain vigilant and hopeful at all times. There's an awful lot of living still to do.

Your post bought great big tears to my eyes today dear Anne. I feel exactly like you - we all need to do this to stay safe & YES - one day we will look back on 2020 & say "remember that awful virus". Your new grandson is just beautiful. Prayers & love for you dear Anne xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you my sweet friend. It's been an over-emotional day today.xx
DeleteOh he is so sweet and I am SO proud of you for making such a lovely blanket for him! It's so sunny today and when we look out the window, it doesn't seem any different. Our county announced lock down today, but everyone was already staying home for the most part. I haven't sewn a stitch all day because I put beans in the crock pot and cleaned a little. My mom stayed home today! That's progress! She's upbeat and very fun to talk to. My brother asked her what she needed at the store and she only needed an onion. LOL! Sending heaps of love your way, good Annie!
ReplyDeleteThanks pal. My Mum stayed put after all too. Enough angst going on here! Hope your beans were good.xxx
DeleteHe's beautiful Anne, you are going to have lots of magic moments together and will make up the lost time, I have no doubt. Keep safe x
ReplyDeleteThanks pal. I hope you're right although watching the news ever day, you'd never think it.xxx
DeleteWhat a lovely post, Anne! That photo is beautiful, precious little man.
ReplyDeleteLife will return to normal before too long, I know it. xxx
