1. MLS is back, and my beloved Sporting KC plays tonight! I am excited!
2. I took Friday off, so I had a long weekend to rest and enjoy some really good books!
3. I feel like I’m saying the same things week after week. Soccer. Quiet weekend days. Cookies. The boyfriend. The cat. There is just not a lot going on these days. Part of that is intentional, to help us protect ourselves and others from the virus that is still around. But as an introvert, it’s not much of a sacrifice. I know it’s not like that for everyone, and I feel bad for those people, but mostly I’m glad that I don’t have to do much on weeknights or weekends. I love this life. And not going out shopping is helping me to put extra money into savings and to pay down some debt. I’m not going to say that the coronavirus is responsible for giving me a lifestyle that makes me happy. It’s more like I’ve spent a lot of years struggling until I could get to this place, where I have a good relationship that makes me happy and a comfortable home and some financial security. I know it can all be swept away in a moment. I’ve had that happen to me before. Maybe that’s why I can rest in the peacefulness I have now, because I know that I can survive a lot of challenges, because I already have. So I am grateful to be here now, and to be able to enjoy being here now, and I hope the peacefulness lasts.
