I'm not going to lie, I've been having a more-difficult-than-normal time dealing with things lately. I truly long for "normal", but I certainly can not force it to be such. I want my kids to have the opportunities of swimming and band competitions, but I recognize that it isn't safe for those things to occur right now. I long to visit with friends, and relationships and human contact are integral for good emotional and mental health...which can have an impact on our physical health as well. I want to be in church and share worship service with others. But visits and church services are not currently safe. I acknowledge all of this, but it makes my heart heavy.
School begins in just over a month. As of right now, we are scheduled to begin in-person, as normal as possible...whatever that might be. I want to be able to work. Is it safe? Are we putting our family in jeopardy? I completely understand the concern of families who need to work and have no child care available. It's all just so unknown. And for today, with the constant rain, it all feels so very heavy.
