So, I caught it. COVID. However, I am very lucky. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. There is medication to take the moment that you catch it to minimize symptoms. Therefore, my experience of COVID is having a nasty cold and quarantining in my bedroom where people bring me food. During this time, as I am forced to not run around and do a million things, I get to rest, sleep, and read.

I am a firm believer that in everything there is a blessing. While it is scary to have COVID (will it be serious? Will I end up with long COVID?), it has also given me a needed break. We can forget how important it is to rest, to stop, to just be in the moment. I have had no choice but to rest!

Another blessing that I have is that I am surrounded by family who will feed me and take care of me. Not everyone can say that. It is so very important to not overlook those blessings. I do not have food insecurity in my home. This is very much a reality for many people in our world today.

Bottomline, while I am sick, I am okay, and I am surrounded by love. The best blessing of all!
