Exactly One Year Ago Today The U.S. Had It’s First Positive Covid Case and It Seems Like It’s Been So Much Longer

Can you believe it’s been a year?

Today, January 21, 2021 officially marks 1 year since the first Covid case was confirmed in the U.S.

How do I know this? Well, it’s right on the CDC’s website.

It has been exactly one year since things took the New Year, crumbled it into a ball and kicked it around a bit. Okay, kicked it around a lot.

Honestly, it feels like it’s been so much longer.

Maybe it’s because the days seem to blur together when you’re stuck inside for long periods of time.

Or maybe it’s from the stress and exhaustion of the past year.

We’ve all been through one hell of a year from lockdowns to illness, deaths and even job losses.

We even dealt with earthquakes, fires, horrible politics and some how, we’ve managed.

We’ve made it.

It may not have been the year we hoped for but I am grateful for what I have in this very moment. Exactly one year later.

I’ll admit this past year has tested me in more ways than one but it hasn’t crushed my spirit.

So, while we don’t know what lies ahead, and what the rest of this year will bring, we do know that whatever we are dealt with, we can do this.

We have to. Especially for our family.

So, raise a glass (or a few) to the next year ahead. Let’s hope for the best but prepare for the worst. Virtual Hugs!!
