It has almost been year since we’ve lived with COVID. And the news just keeps getting worse; new super-transmittable COVID strain, not enough vaccine, civil unrest. When will it all end?
This is a public service message from your friends in Boston. Hang in there guys! This, too, shall pass. I’ve been seeing encouraging signs all around my town. One of my favorites says, “Be boring today (and wear a mask), so you can celebrate in the future.”
A few ways to help you get through:
- Live in the moment and try not to think about the future. Enjoy the here and now.
- Celebrate your friends and family
- Be grateful for what you have and try not to think about what you don’t have or what you lost.
- Find something to smile about every day.
I thought this picture of our “guys” will make you smile. Sir Angus, Toby and Sir Oliver are sending you happy thoughts. Here they are, posing with their q-tip swabs. They heard about the COVID testing and they wanted to see what it was all about.
Sending all my blogging friends happy and healing thoughts. We are all in this together and we WILL get through this.
I’d love to hear how you are hanging in there.

Nancy:
Thankfully, three of our grandchildren are part of our COVID-19 bubble. Seeing them brings much needed joy and gives us a strong sense of normalcy. Going to work has been helpful too.
I hope you and Ken are doing well.
Blessings,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I am so happy to hear that you can see your family; there is nothing like children to make us smile.
The toughest thing for me through all this, is not seeing most of my family since we are in different “bubbles.”
Stay well my friend.

Hi Bea,
Someday soon things WILL get better. Right now, the new more contagious COVID strains are all that is in the news. . .
But, I keep telling myself that this, too, shall pass.
I hope all is well with you.

This a super important post and thanks for these reminders. 2020 really taught me to live in the moment and it’s even more important now.

Hi Susanne!
Thanks so much for your comment. I have to remind myself every day to live in the moment. I am hoping that it will become a habit.
