I Wish You Glimpses of Light

Last night I did an “emergency” social distancing visit (12 feet away, don’t worry) for my daughter and her friend. My daughter was starting to lose her hope for light at the end of this, and I completely get it!

I told a friend yesterday, that I was trying to think through my own life of situations that I’ve gotten through that are similar to this. I know this will end at some time, but I wake up to the same reality of “I’m still doing this” every morning, and I really don’t know when it will end.

This doesn’t mean I’m not really appreciating the beauty in this time, but the thought of not knowing an end point is far different than a lot of challenges in my life.

I figured out what experience I can pull from though...getting babies to sleep through the night and potty training. Both were struggles (especially when you have a child that didn’t sleep well until age 3) that I knew HAD to end at some point, but there were only glimpses of it.

It reminded me I have to hold on to all of the glimpses of light. Last night, seeing my daughter laugh and be silly and REALLY smile it reminded me, it is all still there.

I wish you glimpses of love and light and all that is good in the world
