What did you most enjoy doing this week?

<strong> Got together with friends inside without masks. Decorated gingerbread houses. Kids hung out together</strong> all day just playing video games, laughing just being together. We all went together to the<strong> town’s Xmas tree lighting.</strong> During the event which was crowded with happy people and little kids running around my husband and I talked about the new variant.<strong> I thought this post was going to just be about joy but we were looking at all of the happy faces and said to ourselves “enjoy it now.”</strong> I hope that this isn’t our “June 2021” when we felt free again and then were slammed with Delta.<strong> I have not really thought about what we have lost due to COVID. I have tried to focus more on what it has given us.</strong> Time together before my child turns into a teenager. But now see that<strong> joy - all of that together time with friends and family - has been paused.</strong>. I am still ok with that but<strong> the thought of another year of isolation or at least another year like this one is absolutely dreadful</strong> Now that we know what it’s like. Now that we have been reminded of what we miss.
