Peace in the year 2020

 So my word of the year is Peace.  God has a sense of humor.  At first I thought having peace during a mandatory shut down would be easy.  A blessing!  I underestimated living with extroverts with a high sense of drama in a pandemic.  Then when things started to lighten up the world decided we needed to worry about racism, rioting, politics, really strange weather, a depression, money and just about anything a reporter can think of.  All things that need attention.  Just not all at once.  My granddaughter had an illness that was never really diagnosed and stopped breathing.  She was put on a respirator and was in ICU for several days.  Peace has been hard to come by.  I have had to dig down deep.  I have had to restrict my internet and news time.  I have needed to demand space from my husband and daughter (the extroverts I was talking about).  Mediation.  Continued exercise.  Reading.  aaauuuhh!
