Eva’s Byte #276 – Triumphs
From the 1997 film, Mouse Hunt:
Lars: Ernie! Ernie, there was a quarter in there.
Ernie: A quarter? You think so small, Lars.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic got off to a global rolling start by March, 2020, social-distancing and self-isolation are still the norms for me in August. Major forays are the weekly supermarket trip, the monthly hair salon appointment, routine dental and doctor appointments.
Like Lars, my perspective on triumphs is relatively small:
The triumph of coming across an abundance of disinfectant spray on a shelf in the household aisle at the supermarket, when previously, for 6 months, there were none.
The triumph of administering a regimen of medications in the morning and evening to my cat, Hope. It goes without saying, this includes procuring her from between a rock and a hard place so I can deliver the goods down the hatch. Then, making sure she has actually swallowed the pills and liquid.
The triumph of locating, seizing, and placing Hope inside the pet taxi for her weekly trips to the veterinarian for B-12 injections.
Last, but not least—although it is last and much later in the day when I’m able to devote my attention to writing—the triumph of advancing my Contemporary WIP further along. Miraculously, still of sound mind at that time, I chip away at the art of storytelling. All things considered, I feel exhilarated for approaching the finish line of chapter 53, Part 3.
Lars: Instead of dwelling on what we lack, let's be thankful for what we have.
From where I sit, overcoming any degree of adversity is a major triumph. All the best to you in that regard.
*My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
