My church is not yet open for worship, but luckily the runfessional over at Marcia’s Healthy Slice never closed. I’m still runfessing from home, but glad we don’t have to wear a mask to practice safe social distancing as we cleanse our souls soles.
Thanks to Lacey and Miranda for the Fairytales and Fitness Friday Five link up.
This week I watched with interest as other states–and other regions of my state–began lifting stay-at-home orders and permitting at least some “non-essential” businesses to open to some extent. Because the D.C. area is still a coronavirus hot spot, that hasn’t happened for us. With reports of 700-1000 new cases a day in Virginia and 30-40 new cases a day in my city, I am trying to keep calm at the thought of more people being out and about and content to stay home.

Happy Mother’s Day! I have to say, as hard as it is to be away from my kids during these challenging times, I can only imagine how hard it is to be staying safer at home with kids of any age. So, to all of you with babes in arms, toddlers in tow, children under foot, or older kids longing to see their friends, I am in awe of you.
Love these peachy begonias!
Well, here we are. It’s the first weekend in May and, at least in Virginia, we are still staying at home. But we also are starting to look ahead. We may not know when restrictions will be lifted just yet, but state and local governments and businesses are trying to figure out how to re-open safely and what life will look like in the weeks and months to come. Personally, I’m grateful to be watching from the sidelines for now, and bracing for a new reality.
