I had so many hopes for July. I had hoped to see a parade, watch fireworks, have a little get-together with my family, play piano, sit out in the sun.
Those are all things I would have done every other July, but this July, everything is different. We cannot gather too many people together, the fireworks started on June 19th and kept going until oh pretty much last night was a firework I heard. The sun has been cooperating in that the rain has cooled us down a little bit.
Despite my air conditioning going on the blink, I cooked last night, I made a birthday dinner for my sister last night, and we were both healthy enough to attend, eat, sing, and laugh.

That made me feel better than anything has in a long time. We are staying isolated as much as possible, but we have to eat and drink and get toilet paper, so we have to see people from time to time and those people usually are not wearing masks. Still, I felt pretty safe just having a birthday dinner with my sister Kelli, who I appreciate more than she will ever know. She makes me laugh when I am so depressed all I can do is cry. She cheers me up when I have not one lump of cheer ... and she is the best sister a girl could ever ask for!

Living in a high-rise Tower full of elderly people is not easy as it is, but when the elderly people are all at risk and the CDC advisements are not being followed, it is dangerous to step out in the hallway.
I feel like I am in a prisoner of a pre-funeral bunch waiting just waiting for the "big one," waiting for the doctor to come and tell me I only have a few days left.

All of us only have a few days left don't we? In those few days, I hope to make somebody's life better, hug my child and grandchildren, and promote the love of Jesus of Nazareth as much as I can.
I hope this day is full of Peace for you,
Kimmy
