Last night we “facetimed” with Bill’s cousins. These are wonderful people we haven’t seen in years.  They live across the country.   But in light of everyone hunkering down, they reached out to try to connect.

So, as a bright spot in an otherwise tumultous day, we all got together, my kids and all, to catch up – with sound and video. It was so nice to hear about family and life and all of those good things.

Quite honestly, I’m not sure we would have made this connection back without our current situation.  And as a result, our 30th anniversary trip out west that I have been planning in my head just expanded with an invitation to visit.

Although there is certainly a cloud above us right now, anyone else have a silver lining they would like to share?  It might just brighten someone else's day.
