COVID Sucks

After taking a 8 year hiatus from blogging, I decided today that I wanted to start a new blog.  Only this time around, my point of view would be different.  Back then, I was struggling to find my identity as a mom of young kids.  Now, almost a decade later, my struggles have changed. These days, my struggle is to find balance between my career as an optometrist, and my life at home with my family.  I am constantly searching for ways to manage stress and anxiety.  And striving to be present and patient with my children when I am often just tired and cranky.

Living through a pandemic the last five months has sucked.  I have felt disconnected and isolated from my friends and loved ones.  COVID has robbed us of our normal routines.  Has placed fear in our hearts.  Has caused loss of jobs and threatened our health. Has prevented us from being able to even hug freely.  

Now more than ever, I just wanted to have a place to share my thoughts and observations.  And hopefully, help me to be reminded of all the things I have to be thankful for.  

To greet each day with a new perspective.
