Hello, Friends

 

Hello, friends. It's been a while.

I wasn't around because the Internet is not always a friendly place. 

I wasn't around because the world felt like a Dumpster fire in an active volcano in an A-bomb explosion.

I wasn't around because of that colorful, deadly virus that stopped the world. There was plenty to do to attempt to keep my little corner of the world safe. I stumbled, righted myself, and kept on going like I knew what I was doing. It was exhausting — but like you, I managed.

I have been slow to return to "normal." I spent three years trying to help keep myself, my family, and my community alive, and caution is a hard habit to break.  

I still follow some smart practices around public places. I'll continue to do my best to be a good fellow human. I may stumble, but I'll right myself and keep on going like I know what I'm doing. 

So will you. I know you will, and you have. I am so proud of you. Keep up the good work.

If you need me, let me know. You're not alone.
