I have a friend with disabilities whose life didn’t change either. I think this past year has been enlightening for those of us without disabilities to get a tiny glimpse into that world too. I know it’s not the same though. It has taught me to be even more appreciative of those for whom this lifestyle is their norm. Your attitude is so gracious, Paula. I am encouraged by your perspective of love.

Thanks, Karen. I thought I was going to get an online student instead! But it hasn’t happened yet either. I’m settling into just waiting patiently instead. It’ll happen again when the time is right.

Thanks, Jeremy. Yeah, it did take me a minute to move past the anger. It helped when I heard a little of the backstory. But with that said, good communication is never to be underestimated.

Thanks, Lisa. This was the first week that I held my grandbaby without a mask on, and I realized how much I had been missing by not being able to kiss his sweet little head! It is very freeing to not be tied to my mask as much now. My husband got to drop his mask at work this week; it’s been an adjustment but a good one. 🙂

You’ve had such a full life, Linda! I’m sure you are full of stories. I thank God for women like you who have walked our world doing good for others and shining God’s light of love everywhere you go.

Thanks, Joanne. I need to remain patient. There are several things that I’m not ready to return to anyway, so I want to continue trusting God’s timing for where he wants me to step next.
