Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
I thought the first thing I’d like to do when I leave my pandemic hide-out was to go to QT or a bakery to get a donut or two. But I have passed those places this week as I drove to the bank (safely), and I didn’t even have a craving for sweets. That’s what happens when I leave sugar behind for awhile, a good outcome of home cooking. Or I thought I’d like to go to Starbucks to get a latte, but I’ve passed several of those this week too, and decided that I have learned to make my own lattes at home, sugar free and delicious. And I am not missing restaurants either. I have returned to cooking my own pizzas, and quiches, homemade soups and bread, and with my cooking I have lost weight in the process, not gained it. I realize that what I really miss are the hugs, First missed is a run and hug from my granddaughter, who used to spend her Saturdays at our house, but not since Co-Vid. I miss cooking with her, biking with her, having silly conversations with her and making up stories. I miss her face, and I miss her hugs. Second of all comes the contact with my friends. We write this WiseWomen blog, and “see” each other on line weekly, but sometimes we all need hugs. It used to be that way when we met for an early breakfast together bi-weekly, but of course that changed. We have lived through divorces together, and deaths, cancer and operations, new marriages and retirements. That support was always there both emotionally and physically. I’d like that back again. First thing I’ll do is look for someone to hug! --Cynthia
