With the announcement that Vermont would postpone the beginning of their winter season until December 18th, we are once again left in limbo. It is hard right now as the very hobbies and interests that we use to bring joy or distract ourselves during times of stress are also drenched in a layer of uncertainty. However, right now, health and safety are far more important. I would love to have a little normalcy back into my week by having the opportunity to cheer on my favorite team. Our routines and rituals help shape our lives and give them meaning. But now we all have a larger and more important purpose. To protect those far and wide who we love. In order to do that we have to err on the side of caution every time. Everyone wants to be playing games or watching games or seeing loved ones. The sacrifices we make now will make the future brighter. I want to be a part of making things better and I hope everyone else does to.Whether we get basketball back next month, two months or next fall I will be ready.
I would like to finish with a little humor and joy. By day I am a music teacher and I also have two young children so the movie soundtracks are in constant rotation. While listening tonight I was reminded of this little ditty and think it perfectly captures how everything feels right now.
Enjoy!
