10,001. Just a number.
But when linked to COVID it takes on a sad meaning.
Lives lost connected to love ones.
It is the reason we stay safe, wash our hands, wear masks and limit contacts.
We should remember them.

What does this mean?
What does it mean to you?
Taking the thoughts out of your head into the hands? Maybe??
Many crafters find working with hands brings a sense of purpose, doing, creating, having a project at the end.
Gardeners feel the same way. Digging, planting, seeing the beauty of their garden.
Writers write. The printed word. The prose, the narrative, the report, the essay, the short story, the book, the article.
Cooks and bakers make meals and treats.
Hands touch. Hands hurt. Hands can accomplish many things. Or just sit quietly in your lap!

I feel relieved that my recent prayers were answered. God gave me what I needed.
So I feel I need to mellow and not ask for too much more right now.
I try to make my prayers, prayers of thanks.
Keep my family safe.
Give me strength to keep going.
But I have this sense not to be greedy and burden him.

Our children are doing it.
Following rules.
Wearing masks.
But mostly just glad to be back to school.
Learning. Playing. Being social.
Resilience prevails.
Somehow this Nana knew they could do it.

From green to bright red, yellow, orange or even brown adorning the trees.
Even on the ground the beauty prevails.
Each unique. Prettier in a bunch.

No matter how exposed we may feel sometimes knowing others before us got us here.
