Monday Missive~Moving Forward

Life these days seems to be full of surprises. Nothing seems to stay the same. It’s all about change. Every single day. My life has changed, evolved, over the last almost five years now since my husband died. I continue moving forward, and as the years have gone by, the steps have become lighter, more fluid. I’ve changed my trajectory, refuse to sit home, though these days that seems to be a necessity due to COVID. I’ve found my focus at last where in the initial years after his death, I could focus on nothing for more than a few minutes at a time. What a pleasure it has become to read again, to watch a movie or Netflix series and be able to follow it through to the end. I read, try to write, and now I art. A verb. I’ve also met and partnered with a fellow photographer and artist in the last year and a half, and enjoy realizing that there is something that doesn’t change; the ability to connect with another heart. In these times of craziness and unrest, it is good to feel centered again even though things are askew the world over. And it is good to keep moving forward and enjoying the now.

Finding this new version of WordPress this morning is but one more change, and I’m praying I’ve got this down to publish.
