today is better. today the sun came out and i put on real pants.
i write myself a to do list every morning and everything is completely checked off by 12:15 each day. today it was hard to know what time it was because it was cloudy and gray all morning and then the sun came out around two and it felt like nine am. that was weird.
alena and i went for a really long walk this afternoon and then sat in her parking lot and listened to our favorite podcast. (bros talkin about stuff) it just came back with a new episode so theres one great thing about the rona.
they talked about that day. the day when the world felt like it officially shut down. when the sports got canceled and the music tours were called off. when stores and churches started closing and you know what got real. i have a vivid memory of the moment i knew we needed to start staying inside or distancing physically. lucky for me it was when i read that colony house was calling off their tour.
all that just got me thinking, when we are eighty years old we will still have a certain memory of how that day went. what was going on in our world and if things started to shift for us in that moment. how did i grow from this time where the world was literally all in it together and no one at all had answers. that is a weird thing to think about for sure. i’m really curious about what other people thought on that day. and does it feel like it was years ago or does it feel like weeks?
i am in the years camp.
i’m going to go back outside now and stare directly into the sun and enjoy every minute of it. praise to the Lord for this beautiful weather amen and amen.
