I don’t have much time for musings this morning. I’m heading to Nantucket for the week to chaperone the eighth grade trip for the school where I was formerly employed and where all my kids attended. The same school that burned down almost three years ago. We’ve come a long way! The new building is stunning. We managed to keep the kids safely in school, full-time during this entire year. And, we’re able to take this trip - an activity the kids look forward to for their entire time together as students. This is a slightly modified version of the plans we would have made pre-COVID, but everyone is so grateful nonetheless.

I am grateful for many things this year, even in this time of challenge, especially during this time of challenge. In fact, I think because our world was so limited for so long, these small things feel all the sweeter. I hope I remember this feeling, regardless of what’s happening around me. See you on the other side!
