Day Two Hundred and Eighty-five

Feest Isolation Days – 24 December

Its Christmas Eve!  Santa is coming!  Not long now…The children all nestled snug in their beds…

The presents are all wrapped and we will become like children again tomorrow when we open them! 

The Baby Jesus was born 2020 years ago. That seems a long time doesn’t it?  Puts our near year of Lockdown into a different perspective. 

This always seems a good time of the year to be thankful and grateful for all that we have and all that we are.  More so this year!  It’s been a lifeline for me communicating with you all like this during our Covid period. I hope you managed to learn a little something, laugh a bit and keep up the day to day of living with a smile on your face some of the time.  It’s not always been easy. The worst, however, is apparently nearing the end.  We are still awaiting the announcement of the Oxford vaccine, but Pfizer has already started to be a game changer.  Our local surgery coordinated a thousand jabs in our area last week of the over 80s and those at most risk.  Well done team!

We are blessed to have a house filled with love, even though it isn’t filled with people!  So many cards, and notes and packages and What’s Apps, and emails and the rest.  We hope you, too, are hearing from friends and loved ones and if you haven’t, give them a call, or drop them an email or send a card.  Not everyone copes with things the same and many people will have felt lonely and uncared for.  Show you care!  It’s the Season to do so. 

We are the first ever group of humans who have faced a pandemic and been able to respond so quickly with vaccines that will become our way out of this situation.  It truly is a miraculous undertaking when you think how long vaccines normally take to make. 

We all have SO much to be thankful for!  To each and every one of you, thanks for reading – for helping me stay connected – and for helping me grow and thrive even through lockdown.

See you briefly tomorrow!

With much love
