Sarah's CircleFriends are blessings that sustain our journeys. |
Facebook is a lifeline for many, but I gave it up when the politics of 2020 elections became so rude & mean. And then the ignorance displayed by those who fought against wearing masks and other safety measures having to do with the pandemic just wore me down. I just gave up. As one person said "I'm not going to argue with people any more", I didn't argue but I sure got tired of listening. I have come to rely on texting messages with friends much more than I would ever have thought I would. I don't know a boatload of people, never been good at casual friendships, and I've moved enough to not put down roots too deep in the last few years. My biggest relationship change has been with Karla & Fredrick. I've become comfortable trusting them in many ways to care for us and help me with the difficult decisions that come along. They are our financial POA trustees and when we get around to it, they will have my medical POA also. Life will not always be this way, I hope. New relationships will come along in the art community when life begins to get back to face-to-face meetings. And in a church community also, I think. We'll see. I've gotten pretty comfortable being a caregiver for Chris and staying in our little world. --donna P.S. How could I have neglected to add our Monday AM Zoom meetings as part of my relationships in 2020?? I have thought, often, that I live on a very small island right now. I need to check in on Chris every hour or so, just to be sure he is safe. Volunteer opportunities usually come in longer time frames than that! So, our Zoom is a window on a larger world for me. Thank you, for keeping me up to date on larger issues in our world. And sharing the joy of seeing your smiling faces and sharing lots of laughs with y'all!
