We've been doing this for eleven months

Eleven months ago today was our first day we were home because the state was closing schools.  We've been living in this pandemic for eleven months.  It seems so hard to believe.  I'm grateful that we've been able to have some levels of normalcy.  I'm grateful that we have our dear friends who have been part of our social circle since so early on.  I miss our other friends and family we aren't able to see.  I miss being able to go to a high school basketball game, and I miss that my kids have missed out on some fun high school activities.  At the same time, I am grateful for the more laid back schedule and more family time.

I do feel that we are closer to the end then the beginning, but I never really imagined it would last this long.  In the beginning I didn't really understand what was happening.  I sure do now!
