Thursday--20 years since Dad died

There are many things that made me happy today.  Still I am struggling with depression and anxiety as favorite events through at least August are now canceled.  I will focus on the happy things with a list:

• I have a job and generally I like it.
• There are wonderful people that I work with, remotely.
• There are fabulous students that I get to see, remotely.
• Friends came by and visited today (masks and from a distance outside).
• So many plants are starting to truly show signs of spring and new life.
• My bed is finally assembled and it seems to fit where I wanted it!!
• There is a good possibility that I am not supposed to say anything, but E posted about it on Facebook so...  C and E are officially engaged!!!!  I am so very happy for them!

There is a very blue sky out that window.

Buds! 

Forsythia! 

Lilac Buds! (we think lilacs) 

Periwinkle! 

My bed, all put together!

Gideon being told about the engagement... 

He was jumping for joy!

This list did help lift my mood.

Wash your hands!
