I see a light!

Whether or not that light is at the proverbial end of the tunnel remains to be seen. I’m hoping it is, and, until proven otherwise, will treat it as such

It’s been two weeks since I received my second dose of Moderna vaccine For the past twelve months I’ve been living — if you can call it living — in “hide under the rock” mode. But, in recent weeks, I’ve been thinking more and more about getting out from under that rock and getting on with life. I’m no longer merely thinking about the things I want to do; I’m actually putting them on my calendar. Things that include: visit my family; go to church; eat inside restaurants instead of parking lots; pull my little-used camper out of mothballs and wear the thing slap out.

One of my biggest dreams is to fulfill the wish my wife and I shared of seeing the entirety of the lower 48. That’s not to say I wouldn’t mind visiting Hawaii and Alaska again — been there, done that — but I want to get up close and personal with my own back yard, so to speak. It’s a big country. I’ve seen a lot of it, but there is so much more I want to see.

And let’s not forget my writing. There are so many stories inside of me — and so little time to type them up, put some flesh on their bones, and share them with others.
