Setting Intentions
March 2023 Slice of Life challenge
My parents, who are in their mid seventies, are two weeks post second vaccination. We like to joke that they have been feeling more immune as the days passed.
Last night was the first time we visited their house since covid changed our lives. When we visited before we would always stay outside, far apart and wear our masks. This time we went inside, without our masks on and shared a meal together. The meal wasn't anything special. We ate pizza, breadsticks and St. Patrick's day cupcakes. However, the time spent together was as special as ever. We didn't know that we would have to wait a year to do something which used to be regular and normal for us. Something so simple and regular, is now something so joyous. Eating pizza and cupcakes around the table, playing a cards and laughing. My daughters even slept over. Hugs all around too! I will always remember to have gratitude for the regular, simple things.

Great reminder to be grateful for these simple things. We can't wait until spring break to visit my in-laws now that they are vaccinated.

Yay!!! I am feeling anticipation for the same thing!! My dad is fully vaccinated so I am actually having him drive me somewhere and then he is going to come back and COME IN and have lunch with us!! It feels like a dream! And then over Spring break, we are going to all go visit at their house. And go in! And eat! And maybe even the kids will stay over. They were asking.
