The summary lists continue as I keep working on some private commissions, a fancy Art Speak word for custom artwork.
Personally, not professionally, this happened in the last weird year:
- Tried and thoroughly enjoyed kayaking
- Tried and thoroughly enjoyed stand-up paddle boarding (even thought it made my feet hurt – a weird result)
- Missed church on Easter Sunday for the first time in my life
- Realized that I like not having social obligations
- The lock-down reinforced how much I like being at home.
- We managed to keep 3 cats alive by locking them inside the garage each night (although sometimes they still go rogue)
- Learned what possessions matter when facing evacuation from both our main home and our cabin
- Realized how much I depend on the library
- Learned how thin the veneer of civilization is in our country and how easily people are controlled by fear
- Learned how people share food with one another as a gesture of love especially in hard times – we got more food brought to us and shared more food with friends than I ever remember in the past.
What’s on your list? (Does anyone besides me do this sort of evaluating and list making?)

Here is my list, off the top of my pointy head:
* I learned who my friends are (some unexpected) when, during total lockdown (think March, April, May) I needed someone to buy groceries.
* I missed my church family so much that I decided the fellowship was more important than the risk, and started attending church again in July (with no adverse effects).
*Too much of a good thing (crocheting) can be detrimental (sore wrist). But Project Linus gained a dozen charity blankets!
*It’s frightening how easily it is for the government to control its citizens by exaggerated fear.
*I depend on my computer and TV to pass the time more than I should.
*I’m even more thankful my mother is in a wonderful facility that cares for her so well that, despite having 225 residents in the highest risk group, none has tested positive for Covid.
*But most of all, despite dangers from wildfires, illness, isolation, riots . . . I can still rest on the absolute sovereignty of an almighty, merciful, and loving Lord!
But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
(Psalm 115:3)
P.S. Cleared my cookies, yay!
Sharon, this is a wonderful example of finding lemonade in lemons. And it was your cookies that prevented you from commenting? Cookies, schmookies – more techie mysteries. Welcome back, and thank you for sharing. (Sharon shares)!
All I know is that I cleared all the cookies on Chrome, and it worked. So I now know the fix, if it happens again.
I tell ya, computers are one, long, ongoing, sometimes annoying, sometimes frustrating learning experience!
