Hope Wins
February 25, 2021
Good Morning Everyone… It’s a blustery day here in coastal Massachusetts. Like elsewhere in the country finding a slot to get vaccinated for COVID is like winning the Lotto. I waiver each day, since I found out that I was eligible, between looking on the Mass.Gov website for an open slot, to resigning myself to not waste my time right now, knowing that there aren’t enough vaccinations available yet here in Massachusetts, much like other states.
I’d rather spend my time looking at annual seeds online, dreaming of all the flowers I wish I had the room to plant. For now, for today, I will think about the grape hyacinth I planted and hope that my bulbs do well in their first year. The pandemic boredom feels heavy of late. I am bored with social media, bored with streaming movies and series, bored with cooking, bored of boredom. What to do? Start a new hobby? No I have too many already. So today, I’ll just think of spring, the gardening to come, the walks on the beach, and in the woods and hope that hope will, because in the end, I believe that it does. Hope wins.
