covid 19 lbs

In 2020 fear wins.  Are we done yet?  Because for certain, fear does not win in the end.  This is somewhat of how my 2020 went.  I call it covid 19 lbs.

Am I hungry?  Thirsty?  Restless?  Tired?  Angry?  Frustrated?  Anxious?  How is it that in 2020 I cannot seem to identify my emotion.  And so I eat.  I emotionally eat.  What a totally crazy insane year.  I ate my way through this year and I am up 19+ pounds since the start of this year.  NINETEEN fricken covid pounds.  Great!  Ending this awful year with tight pants that don’t fit.  

I guess I could blame our crazy government for my tight pants.  For the fact we are building isolation camps in Canada, the land of the free.  For the fact that though our kids can go to school, they cannot go to church.  That although we can shop in crowds at Walmart, we cannot see our parents in their home for Christmas.   I  suggested to my girlfriends we each bring a warm dish and set up a potluck in Walmart to prove a point.  Let’s have our Christmas potluck at Walmart where we are allowed to gather since we can’t have in our homes.  

Is anyone else frustrated as I am with the inconsistency of our new world?  The threats of mandatory vaccine in order to travel.  Am I the only one who is noticing every new Netflix series is about the destruction of Earth and how only a few people are trying to save humanity?  

So today, the last day of 2020, I shift my focus.  As a woman of faith, I believe that in the end LOVE WINS.  It may be true that today fear is winning.  Evil is winning.  But I know that in this crazy world, when I stop to take a breath that I can rest in knowing that this is temporary.  That I am not alone.  That in this grand universe, we are miniscule and we have created our own chaos.  And that I can rest in knowing that Love wins. And as for my extra 19+ covid pounds, they can fly a kite.  In 2021 may I find the strength to say good riddance. 

Happy New Year my friends and cheers to a new year where we stand tall as the human race to take responsibility for this beautiful Earth we have been given.  May we honour the One who gives Life and brings LOVE.  2021 - we welcome you and embrace you with great courage.  We assume the position of strength in Love and reject fear.  And LOVE WINS.  Happy 2021 friends.  Big Love to you all.
