When Life Makes Other Plans for You


Today was supposed to be the first of 7 vacation days for us.
A surprise festival of love and sunshine.
All of us together once again! 
Harper, Taylor, Tiff and Matt.
Tim and Lauren!
Destination: St. Pete’s Beach.
But that took a back seat to the Coronavirus.
Our trip is cancelled.
The US has closed.
Schools, restaurants, gyms, and corporate America all sit vacant.
Masked shoppers stand 6 feet apart in the essential businesses.
Illness and fear are knocking on our doors.
Roads are empty, and today the parks are closed.
It’s been almost a month now that this nasty little germ infected the US.
Staggering amounts of deaths, 
And today it took away John Prine.
A soft spring rain is falling, 
The flowers continue to bloom,
the birds continue their songs.
The rivers are flowing, and a pink moon shines above.
Until COVID passes, stay well.
 Stay 6 feet apart.

With love and hugs.
❤️
