Scenes From Our Summer Week 4

At the end of this week (when I am currently writing this) some of us shared how we are sick of this COVID 19 pandemic and how it has affected many areas of our lives.  The cases are building again and the news seems to get more discourgaing.

But I think about the beautiful poppy field I saw this week while I was out biking.  I remember the breakfast picnic I had with my kids at the park and how excited my son was to order Burger King breakfast.  I remember how much fun we had exploring in the creek at Bush Park.  I remember the peaceful afternoons at the pool.  I remember hiking to ten different waterfalls with my family.  Yes, there have been lots of hard things lately that have disrupted our lives.  I will acknowledge them and not sweep them under the carpet.  There are joyous times too.  I will cling to those as well.
