Was weird how many friends of mine died. The whole year it felt like there was a traffic jam up on the road to the afterlife. <br /><br />I'm grateful to be healthy though, and my immediate family has been doing okay during the pandemic. I stay counting my blessings every day. <br /><br />I came across a quote recently that resonated with me, it's a attributed to Kierkegaard, I read it in the notes of Delmore Schwartz: <br />"The love of God is repentance. The greater the freedom, the greater the guilt---this is one of the secrets of blessedness."<br /><br />Relatively speaking, I've been extremely fortunate, especially during this pandemic. I have a woman, a house, a job, a puppy, and I'm healthy. Can't ask for much more than that. <br /><br />PQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491626995530401441noreply@blogger.com
