Thinking of those I haven't seen in a long time. This week's song is in memory of my mom, who inspired this 52 Weeks in 2021 project. (She died from pancreatic cancer at age 52, the age I turn this year). Today is PurpleStride Phoenix, a fundraiser to support programs and services for pancreatic cancer patients and their families. Take the first step. Chase that dream. Don't take for granted the circumstances that led you here. Now that you're here, jump in. This week’s song, "Good Intentions," is a reminder of what life was like before everything came to an abrupt stop. The rushing around, the constant choices that needed to be made. So much of everything that there was rarely time to just be. We’ve had a lot of just being this past year and so many choices were taken away that life before the pandemic seems like a different lifetime ago. What will a year of social distancing and isolation mean once we return to gathering in crowds again? Now that we’re getting used to Zoom correspondence, with the option of turning off your video and typing in chat boxes rather than real-time chatting in person, will it be a difficult transition? #flashbackfriday to a year ago, trying to make sense of what was happening. #flashbackfriday Thinking about this time last year in the early stages of the pandemic when it felt like we were all in this together.
