The last several months have been filled with highlights and lowlights. I feel a bit like being on a seesaw . . .
I miss physical closeness and connection most. I so miss hugging my children and grandchildren . . . at least there’s the gift of FaceTime, texts, phone calls, etc. to keep up with their adventures.
I miss being a regular greeter on Shabbat stationed at the doors to TBE’s beautiful sanctuary and welcoming all to join our holy community.
I miss being with friends, going to theater, to movies, to Tanglewood, travel and walking at Castle Island when I need an “ocean fix!”
Pain has made my life challenging this year. I so long to go for a long walk in my neighborhood and beyond. Still I’m grateful that my problem is more an inconvenience and not at this point I believe life-threatening. I finally have hip replacement surgery scheduled for Dec. 3.
Through it all I feel so blessed and grateful. Each new day is a true blessing. I have love in my life, beauty around me, people I care about and stay in touch with and so much more.
