- GLORY
- Hands-down my ABSOLUTE favorite part, followed by memes, and lack of social expectations.
- I feel like I was made for this.
- I could live like this for the long-haul.
- Social distancing FOR THE WIN.
- I do thank God every day that He has allowed this to be a positive break for me. It wouldn't be positive if we lost our jobs, couldn't find food or didn't have toilet paper. I realize I'm only so happy because I'm getting everything I want AND I have everything I need. I would feel differently if my needs weren't met and/or we were struggling. And so I do whole-heartedly sympathize with people who are truly having a hard time (which really is most people) and I pray for them daily that the God of all compassion will meet their needs.

The only place more popular than Walmart is Lowes. Everyone is at home surrounded by decades of unfinished progress.
I never had time to garden...until now.
