Hello friends. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted and I’ve missed this little space.
Unfortunately, over the holidays, our family came into contact with someone infected with Covid and a couple days later hubby tested positive.
Fortunately, I tested negative and so did the kiddies, however, hubby’s symptoms continued to worsen and he had to be hospitalized.
He is thankfully home now and slowly recovering but the week he was in the hospital was truly torture for me as I was not able to be there with him and truly not knowing much.
I am so thankful to the nurses and doctors that took such good care of him and to my family who kept us in their prayers and brought us food and groceries and anything else we needed. I don’t know what I would do without them and of course my faith.
Before hubby was due to come home, we all got retested and everyone tested negative except for me, however, I thankfully, had ZERO symptoms!
I was feeling tired but I attribute that to all the sleepless nights worrying about hubby. I’m so thankful to have had my ‘health’ and be able to care for him when he came home. I’m also so grateful that the kiddies didn’t get it.
This entire journey has been so eye opening and has taught me how precious life truly is. We often waste time on things that really don’t matter and
take for granted the little things that truly bring us happiness. It’s just unfortunate that it takes a bad situation to shake you out of your comfort.
We started our isolation on the 26th of December and today I got a call from the health department letting me know that they are closing our case
and we can go back to ‘normal’.
Though for me, I don’t want ‘normal’ because I want to live each day being a better person and making those around me happier than I did the day before. I want to revive my love for God and get closer to him.
The other day, I ordered myself some flowers because I was unable to leave the house and they brought me so much joy.
I truly is the little things that make life better.
My little Brody who has not left my side this entire time. We really don’t deserve dogs.
As you can tell, I flipped the couches around and got a new rug just for a little change….
Little changes that make a huge difference. Also, if you look at the image in the mirror, you can see me wearing a mask….
I will never forget January of 2021.
Please keep safe friends. Sending you all so much love and please if you’re the praying type, keep us in your prayers.
much love,
Lucy

Oh my Lucy. What an awful time for your family. I’m happy to hear you are all on the mend. May God bless your family.

So sorry for your difficulties and glad to hear everything is getting back to what is passing for normal these days. I do hope your husband continues to heal and that you and your children remain unaffected or I should say uninfected as I’m sure none of you has been unaffected by the whole ordeal.
Sue says
Thank you for this precious post. Thanks to our Heavenly Father and His Blessings for your family.
2021 hasn’t started out the best as I was hoping it would. A dear friend and her husband both have Covid and
they are elderly don’t no where it came from. They were so careful.
Love your coffee table, I love all things from nature that we can use to decorate. Among all the sadness and chaos around us right now we just have to look at all God has given us.
Take care and get your energy back, missed your posting.
Sue says
Yes, will pray for you and your family along with the hope that this horrible pandemic will soon be over.
Sandi says
Oh, my. The exact scenario happened to my friend and her husband. It was terrifying to walk next to her and watch this unfold, so I empathize with you as you went through this. My friend says the same as you, a new perspective on how precious life is. We did a lot of praying and thanking God for the outcome. So very glad your husband is home and your family is together.
Tania says
I’m so sorry to hear but so glad everyone is ok. That must have been awful not being able to be there with him. :o(

Happy to hear you and your family are doing better. The virus has made many re-think their lives. I wondered why I hadn’t seen any new posts. Take your time in healing and rest. Look forward to watching more of your paintings and Brody is such a good dog. Mine are always at my side.
Take care.

Lucy, I am so sorry for the health scare you went through. Even close to a year into this it still seems easy to get, and rough on everyone. It must be so hard not to be able to visit the hospital..it has been the same here. We have been lucky, and my husband and I are older and with some risks so it is nerve-wracking. We still have not been able to get a vaccine either…there a lot of us here in Florida…older and needing the vaccine. I’m sure it will all work out in good time. Meanwhile, it was good to finally see a post…we do miss you. And good that most of you stayed healthy, and your hubby is recovering well. Hugs to Brody too. May God keep us all safe.
PS) There is a message above I would love to delete for you but don’t know how. (Somya)

I’m sorry this happened. I hope your husband has no lasting effects from this horrible disease. It’s amazing how our animals seem to sense when we are struggling. Your flowers are beautiful.
Sherry says
Such an awful experience for you and your family! I am so glad that your husband is on the mend, I am sure all will okay and can’t wait to see all your beautiful contents!
Kris says
Lucy, virtual hugs to you. I am a health care worker and while our area is once again allowing limited visitors in hospitals, it has been so hard when we have had visitor restrictions. I think we hospital staff try to “love on” our patients an extra amount during those times. I’m glad he is home and that life is starting to look up for you. Take a little time to feel refreshed. Remember, “He restores my soul”.
Bea says
