It often distresses me when FB posts “7 years ago today”, or whatever year and photo they randomly think might be a good one for me to see. Given the nature of the photos I post, it is usually one of my favorite, four legged, furry companions, no longer here.
Thankfully, my parents passed away before the age of cell phones, (my father would have loved the camera aspect) and FB. My mother, always hated having her picture taken. Neither of them will show up in my FB feed. There is a smiling photo of my father at my desk to keep me looking to the future and maintaining my optimism.
As my brother would say; “I digress”.
Today is April Fool’s Day and such a joke we are living in so many ways. This April Fool’s has me looking back and relishing the trip. Nine years ago saw me starting a new job. The one I no longer have. My husband and I had just moved into our little dream home, where my writing is now done.
Dogs have come and some sadly gone. Cat and horse have gone. Wonderful new neighbors and friends have joined the journey. My perfect children (note photo last post) are; well, perfect and there is a grandson. Also perfect.
We are all in quarantine. Hard for my husband. Heaven for me. Except for the family visitation aspect.
Stay well. Stay away (6 ft) and someday with luck, we can say “I survived”
In the meantime, I will be on the trails (mikicc.wordpress.com) or at my desk in the Summer Cottage, marvelling at this journey that has gotten me here. Onward and Upward.
