We’ve made it to 2022, it’s a new year!
We were so hopeful for 2021, and in many ways, with COVID still raging its ugly head those hopes were dashed. I’m not sure if we should celebrate 2022 or spend time in fasting and prayer pleading for deliverance. Whatever 2022 brings, it will likely be unexpected and both heartbreaking and joyful at times.
I find myself on day 3 of the new year slightly under the weather. I start back to work tomorrow, and school in a week. It’s cold and snowy outside- which for Mississippi is unusual. I’m out of sorts and I’m not entirely sure why.
There are no grand plans for this year.
We had planned to go to Germany for our 20th wedding anniversary this year, but they aren’t currently accepting American proof of COVID vaccination and there is no sign as to when that will change. I have no far-reaching goals, new year’s resolutions, or words for the year. Last year I declared “The year of the teeth,” for my family as I knew some serious dental expenses were coming our way. This year, there is still more to do, Hopefully, less than the $10,000+ we spent last year.
I’m still here, writing for my sanity when I can. Desperately trying to balance, work, school, special needs parenting, parenting in general, being a spouse, and all the rest of life- while frequently feeling like I’m failing.
Happy Birthday, #5 to this blog. May it continue to find the people it needs to, and may others realize that they are not alone out there.
