The world can seem overwhelming, and not in a good way.
I last traveled in early March of 2020, to Vegas, of all places. There were rumors of the virus but no one really knew anything.
We did notice that our flight home was only half-full, and that never happened PP (pre-pandemic).
Since then we are mostly at home. Takeout Tuesday has become a true highlight for us and an excuse for me to drive somewhere to pick up our order. Takeout food and Netflix (plus Disney+, Prime, Apple TV and more) just doesn’t seem to bring enough joy.
How about you?
But this morning I got a Snapchat from our elder daughter of HER 8th grade daughter in a carefully chosen outfit and smiling the biggest smile I have ever seen. TODAY she went to school for the first time since last March.
It’s just two days a week with the rest online, but our granddaughter has hope and is excited (and nervous).
Her emotions helped me face the day, the first of a new college semester.
Tomorrow at 10 a.m. (our time) there will be another new beginning.
Maybe life isn’t so terrible, after all.

This is the start of an experiment with daily writing, shared on Google Drive, which is easy to access for all in my Metro Composing Arguments class (I hope). To become a better writer, a first step is to WRITE. We can all work on our technique as we go along.
