Steeled Snake

It’s time for a new prompt in the Snake Den. February is typically hearts and roses and love, but I thought I’d do a slight spin on that.

Snake’s dad died last week from Covid. He was relatively healthy, he was 80 and in remission from lung cancer, and then he was gone. This is a brutal and horrible virus.

We’ve been working on our backyard on and off for three years. Part of the delay was the pandemic, of course, but there has also been triple digit temperatures, lack of time, laziness and procrastination.

I wrote last week about the upcoming wedding and thought I’d do a brief update.

This is Part 2, his perspective. Be sure to read part 1, here.

The day was another one – just seemingly on top of all of the others, so much to do, so much that seems important, but the at the end of the day, it’s just a blur of frustration and aggravation that led to too few things getting actually done. So many calls. So many emails.

I saw this today while I was looking for inspiration and thought it was perfect for a fresh start.

Even during the best of times, it feels like we always need to slow down and take a break. Sometimes with friends and sometimes alone, but we need to catch our breath, relax and refresh ourselves.

So today, try to take a few minutes to treat yourself and maybe reconnect with a friend or with yourself, have a coffee or tea and just be.
