I'm grateful for those who prioritized their health to stay alive so that we can huddle together as community and hold each other up. I'm grateful for those who died too -- they taught me the value of life, to take nothing for granted, and they taught me and are teaching me how to go on living without them. Someday I will join them, but not yet. I'm still here for a reason. Or I'm here for no reason, who can know. But I'm here, and I plan to stay as long as I can, to learn as much as I can. Life is a great mystery, a great adventure, full of highs and lows and all between. I am fluid and flexible like nature herself, and I am here for the journey.
