In the year since I last posted, a lot has happened. Then again there has been a lot of nothing happening, too. If future people wonder what 3/2020 to 3/2021 was like, they will probably be able to read whole books about it- so I needn’t catch people up here. But on a personal note, yesterday I received a vaccine (dose #1, Moderna). I have a card in my purse attesting to this fact. Maybe this card opens the world up.
World open or not, I am leaving for Maui on Wednesday. I will be there by myself for a month, working (remotely- starting at 5:30am), taking surf lessons, hiking around and eating purple sweet potatoes. Whenever I feel the urge to explain why a mom would abandon the family for a month, I try to suppress it. Let’s just say, at the intersection of “I really want to do this” and “I can easily do this” I find the question: “Why would I not do this?”
So, surf’s up. I hope to write about each day. My memory is not as sharp as it was when I began this blog fifteen years ago. It is fun to look back and remember so I owe it to myself to make more of that for future me.
