Another day in paradise
I remember exactly where I was when the meaning of this song hit me. When it reached me and changed me. I must have been 9. The message has stayed with me ever since.
This moment of awareness, and this song, has come through my head many times when I am reminded of how privileged I have been during the pandemic. Four acres of land to share with just a husband, a garden full of food, and no children to teach/educate/entertain/worry about.
And.
I am terribly lonely. I miss my family something awful. I long to walk with a friend. To give my mom a hug. To meet my nephew for the first time.
I share this podcast link below, because it really helped me reconcile these two heavy feelings during this time. I couldn’t recommend it more.
May I work on having more empathy for others. May I remember to offer kindness to all. Even in my thoughts. Even with myself.
