Mary’s Minute
“You can design and
create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to
make the dream a reality.”
~ Walt Disney
This has been a busy week
for me, but also really awesome. My
daughter, Zoe, and her boyfriend have come to stay with me for the summer. I have enjoyed being alone in my apartment over the last few months, and although it
isn’t Disney World, it has been my little castle. Yet, without people, the dream never felt
complete. Now, we may be crowded, but having
people here makes my dreams come true.
I was okay during quarantine. I learned to enjoy my time alone and the
routines I formed around my simple life.
I was going through the motions.
Each day this week, Zoe has
gone on walks with me. We have had
dinner crowded on the coffee table in the kitchen/living room. We have worked on our computers with the television playing in the background. Nothing special, yet I have felt more complete.
There are laughs, there are
simple conversations, and there is joy in having people who you care about near
you! I wish my words could express the
smile that having people near me brings!
Wishing you a wonderful
world, filled with people you love! ~
Mary
How wonderful, Mary. You have two of the most precious ones and everything about this post makes me so happy! Enjoy this special time and soak in every moment. Give them hugs from me!
ReplyDeleteBonnie - I agree that they are precious, and I know having them with me for this time is a gift! Thanks so much for your comment, and I will do my best to take care of Number 1 Grandson!
DeleteI’m so happy for you! Having my kids with me during quarantine has been such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteLisa - Thanks for reading and commenting. It means a lot. I am glad you had your kids with you too! Mine were in Perry County without me for most of the time, which I think made Zoe and Whit coming up here now seem even more special. You take care, and thanks again!
