Day 10 & 11 - California Dreamin'


If it weren't for a global pandemic, we would be vacationing in Los Angeles with family. It is certainly sad and the reality of this event continues to unsettle. I do take some solace in the fact that we're all in this together, not just as a nation, but as a world. I recognize too that the girls are sad to miss the family vacation, but it's not cancelled, it's just postponed until it's safe. In fact, they, the kids, were ready to cancel our flights before we were, the adults... I guess we let them watch too much news!?
I am heartened by their video journal entries today, which were quite upbeat and positive. So, while there may be more yelling going on than I'd like, I think we've managed to keep the general vibe happy and we are sure to appreciate the good things we do have, which we recognize is a lot more than most.

We are inundated with online resources and the girls were able to take their dance classes on Zoom! They also did some doodles with Mo Willems and I know there's so much more to explore that hasn't been readily available/shared for them, before. For me, I'm sore after completing a virtual HIIT exercise class from Empower, which is a local personal training business owned by my neighbor friend, Ronda!
