I almost gave up on MAGIC this year. My One Little Word for 2020 just didn't seem appropriate with the way the world is right now. I mean, how can you look for the MAGIC around you when you can't leave your house!
Almost. Not quite.
An unexpected invitation to chat with writing friends led to
an unexpected writing group,
which led to an unexpected joy of finding more old writing friends
and blogging with them again.
And that got me thinking about all the other MAGIC in my life because of writing.
- TeachWrite I joined them a while back and loved the people, but really thought about leaving the group until...
- #100daysofnotebooking Joining this group kickstarted my writing again. We're now on day 102! And this lead me to...
- The TeachWrite pop-ups on Zoom.
- This helped me keep connected to people (because this quarantining stuff is hard!)
Writing has been a lifeline this last month!
Video Chats have also been MAGIC. I don't know who figured out the Jetson's way of communicating, but it has also been a blessing. I'm able to keep in contact with family and feel like we're (almost) together.
Really, Who doesn't love a happy hour video chat?
We "see" the boys and their families at least once a week. The grandkids have Snapchat and House Party and Kids Messenger, so we hear from them even without their parents.
And there is nothing better than the sweet goodnights I'm getting from one of the youngest.
We are probably keeping in closer contact with others now than we were before! But it's one habit that won't go away when the quarantine is over!
