A note from the desk of Author and Resident Sara O.
To Epworth Villa:
Many, many thanks for your efforts to keep us all as safe as possible. David and I deeply appreciate it. We are glad we chose Epworth for our home. We appreciate everyone. We are so glad.
You asked a writer how she is coping with crisis, so here’s my answer.
I try to remember what I’m grateful for. Gratitude changes my perspective and I have so much to be thankful for today. I’m sheltered, fed, have David with me, have a wonderful family, I have Psalms 23 to cling to, and I know I’m surrounded by friends even though we can’t see each other. I have a comfortable home and my physical needs are met. I am well today and that’s a good thing. I think about the family dog I love and that always gives me a smile. This event wouldn’t worry her. I can look outside and see spring flowers, green grass, the pond and know that a good, sunny day when all is back to normal, will come. My life has been good and filled with people I’ve loved and they’ve loved me and I’ve been blessed beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I’m reminded that life is good. That’s what is important.
Thanks for asking. It’s a good reminder.
That’s what has gotten me this far.
Sara O.
