Everything is Temporary

These past few months I have been reminding myself that everything is temporary on an almost daily basis. When I trip over the step stool that is always in the kitchen, when I receive an “I love you mama” seemingly out of the blue, when someone will not put her shoes on after being asked hundreds of times to do so. This all sounds trivial with all that is going on in the world but it is part of the every day grind of the new normal that is life during this pandemic. I am trying to raise a compassionate child, to teach her all the right things, and be a better person myself. We are a work in progress.
