Thanksgiving Day, close to the ocean in Lewes Delaware.
We have a lot to be thankful for. We haven’t been hit hard by COVID, at least not yet. We’re having Thanksgiving with Molly and Mitchel, two of our favorite people in the world. We’re close to the ocean for this week or so. And tRump will soon be out of office. Life is good.
This has been a strange year. We had high hopes for travel, both planned trips and spontaneous travels. We started great with a January trip to Belize with Molly and Mitchell. Major fun and great birding. A kick-butt way to start the yearly birding list. With our move to Indiana we were going to hit every Indiana State Park. Surely was going to be a great birding year and photography year. And then along came COVID.
COVID has changed lives, ours and many others. The U.S. is now at over 263,000 COVID deaths, and it ain’t done yet. Our travel has been greatly restricted and we’re much more just careful about where we go and where we stay. Spontaneous going out to pubs, restaurants, or concerts is a distant memory. We must wear masks whenever we’re around other people. We dropped our gym membership because it was an unsafe environment. We limit our contacts with other people. But these things are mostly irritants. At least we haven’t lost any family members to COVID. We haven’t lost jobs. We don’t have to worry about making car payments or rent or mortgage payments. And most importantly, our immediate family seems to be weathering the pandemic in good shape. I can’t ask for more than that. That my friends, makes for a thankful Thanksgiving Day.
