Well, this is a good start to the new year.

I got my vaccine today. It was the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, and I am very appreciative that I was included in some of the first recipients in our county. The reason was based on a calculation by the county - I work multiple clinics, and have patient-facing work too. Essentially, I was labeled a "potential super-spreader" if I were to be positive.

So ... first dose down. In twenty eight days, I'll get the second one. I'm looking forward to it.

We're getting closer, folks. Stay safe till then. We'll get through this, and 2021 will be a better year.

Good bye 2020!

May you all be healthy and happy going forward!

That's great news. They have just authorised the Oxford vaccine for use in the UK 🇬🇧. So they start a mass vaccination program on Monday, they are aiming to do 2 million people a week. It's a 2 dose vaccine but the second dose is 12 weeks after the first dose.

Happy New Year, dearest of friends.

My only resolution this year, well ever, if i'm honest, is to take better care of me. To allow those times when, mentally, i cannot cope with life. To slow down some and allow things to just be as they are.

i worry a lot, i always have. But i'm tired of that. Tired of worrying whether i'm good enough, that i should be doing this thing or that.    I've been watching lots of men who knit on youtube. they are teaching me more than knitting. They are teaching me, that it is okay to be me. to slow down and enjoy the processes of the work and of life.  That a dropped stitch is not failure, not the end. The work does not have to be ripped out and started again ... you only need to stop for a moment and with some patience and care you can pick up that dropped one and bring it back.

They are teaching me most everything can be repaired ... that it is not rocket science and life isn't either.

i have zero desire to write. and i am strangely okay with that .. i will, or i won't. i worried about that too .. that people won't read, that i wouldn't have as many readers for this story or that one .. but at least i didn't sell myself out there. i wrote what i wanted to, my way.  if that is done, then that's the way of it.  if it is not done, then i'll wake up one day with words in my hands again.

Covid is still with us. We will remain huddled at home .. the vaccine is months and months away for us.  And if the flu shot F-up is anything to go by, in this province we may not get it until next year. We'll see.  Ontario had over 3,300 cases of covid yesterday ... the highest ever and it doesn't seem to be getting better.  i am disappointed, in our government for their lack of leadership and decision making, i am most disappointed in us, as Canadians for just being so damn stupid and thoughtless.  i am tired of sitting in my apartment, doing the right thing, while others bring the devil closer to me daily.

i love you all ...often i cannot be here, but don't forget that .. i won't either xoxo    i hope that this year sees us all safe, healthy and together.

Oh sweetie, never think that about yourself cause you are worth something to a whole lot of people and especially your husband. We here at GA and DIC all love you. You mean the world to us. You make us feel like living and brighten our daily lives with your presence. You are our King of peace and tranquility on here and never forget that. Mike is your King and he will always be there for you. Worrying just makes you look older and that is what happened to me and I was always told I looked way younger than I was. So never worry very much and let us listen to you to take the worry away as well as let Mike listen to your worries to help you through it and don't keep it bottled up.

Covid may still be here but it will eventually go away just like all pandemics have over the years, decades, and centuries. We as the children of God will be the backbone of getting rid of the germs by just doing what the medical world wants us to do cause God is backing us up and protecting us strong willed people. 

As for the knitting you do, that is a calming hobby for you and also as I believe, even though I have not seen very much of your work, that you have a beautiful talent when you knit. My dad loved crocheting and it was beautiful just like your knitting. So I believe your beautiful art pieces of knitting is also bringing out the eautiful man that you are! 

We all love you here and so does your husband, Mike, and all your family and friends. No one is perfect, except our God, so we all make mistakes and it brings us down. Let the love of what you love to do that brings that happy smile to your face always shine through the world for all to see.

Some really good advice that could be applied to anyone or any situation. Thanks for this tim, and for giving us - I know it did me - the wee nudge - intentional or not - to reflect on our own circumstance.
 

You truly are a gem.  

[MichaelS36]

I hope you all have had a good Christmas and New Year's. The Day is pleasant so far ... lamb is cooking, husband is knitting and seems happy enough.

I wish you all the best during this new year.
