We live in a small town with a centralized downtown that often attracts nearby towns to our community. My neighbors are important to me. A few werks ago I shared my neighbor’s photograph if an owl who was sitting in a tree in my yard. My neighbors who have tiny toddlers are important and moved in just before the first baby was born. After the mini blizzard hit Connecticut, I texted them - and we now share the same plow service! Our driveway is quite libg and circular so we found a fabulous plow service - he is meticulous - and now will plow our young neighbor’s driveway too! I try to text everyone in our area and up the road during storms - making sure we are all safe & that help is always here. 💙💙💙

Right now. Right now feels like every other minute of the day, of the week, of the month. Right now feels like forever. ...Right now feels so long and without any end in sight, without a change. Right now wants to be soaking up this newborn, born in the height of the pandemic. Instead, right now is negotiating relationships, controlling emotions, managing emotions, providing; interestingly enough, not for myself but for every one else. Right now feels like a missed opportunity; constantly grieving the loss of time with just [my baby] and my own loss of time.
