Last year, I was learning alongside my students,
Seeking for the best afternoon latte,
Planning stops and sights on an epic trip,
Stopping and shopping when the mood hit,
Hugging friends and grandchildren without fear,
Grateful for a life full of potential.
Today, I'm still learning with Zoom,
Reheating coffee to keep up my energy,
Planning a vaccination, where ever it may be,
Stopping to shop with Incart when a shopper is free,
In need of friends, children, grandchildren and hugs ,
News of milestone losses weighs heavy on my heart,
Yet, I'm grateful that my life is stagnant
Yet like this old oak,
Full of potential.

I too felt the “weight of milestone losses” and am grateful for moments of stagnation. It could be worse.
Good to see you, Anita. I’m glad you’re participating in the March challenge.
I love the ending of your post. I desperately miss missing out on those milestones and have been feeling old. Your reference to the oak tree made me feel full of potential. 💛

A life full of potential - isn't that such a gift!
