walking in the sunshine
pushing the baby in the stroller
observing the trees shimmer in the sunlight
pondering the effects of their symbiotic moss industriously gathering dew droplets
remembering how the ducks looked on the pond earlier in the morning

I forget about:
no grocery
     friends
     school
     fresh fruit
and the upcoming nut shortage that will disrupt my blood sugar balance
             news
             mask shortage
             social distancing protocols

and reflect that living a life that's relatively unchanged despite a pandemic is a privilege...I can still walk and see the trees, I still have food to eat (so far), and although there are hard things, life is ultimately very good. And I am grateful.
