Renoween!

Can you believe it? We have made it to Halloween of 2020!? Sometime during the night last night, we received the news that Sean Connery has died. He was born in 1930 in Edinborough, Scotland, began his career as a contestant in a a beauty contest!

Since I don't have any ready photographs I'm going to try to upload some I took off of my television set.

I am going through a rough time during this Rona season of 2020. I got two entire hours of sleep last night. 1 hour was before midnight. And one was this morning. I have not slept the night in 8 days now. It is really starting to get to me, but I am trying to remain upbeat.

I spoke with a lady in my choir yesterday who asked me to write a piece for the church for Christmas and I'm really excited about it. I find I am at my best when I'm challenged to write something, so I'm encouraged and looking forward to completing that piece for Advent.

I'm excited because it is about a Carol. Remember when Kate Smith sang I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day? It was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in the 1830s. I will be interested to see why he wrote it and when Kate Smith sang it it was so dramatic. I'm sure I will cry again when I figure out why she indeed sang it ... and it's okay to cry, you know? There's a reason why God gave us those tears and emotions. This virus has caused us all so much Strife. Apart from the many deaths it is caused across our nation, it has forced us to face our own inner conflicts of Pride and our own inner conflicts of Pride over family and love and the conflicts that we face of aggression within our own conflicts. It is something we should go ahead and face, but we don't. I know I have to too. I'm ashamed of myself for not being more real, and I'm going to be better about it, I promise. Peace to you, Kimmy
