The Return of Hope

Last week, I experienced one of the high points of the last twelve months. Granted, I've had some wonderful things happen to me over the last year--a new agent and a new contract key among them. But last week, I got my first dose of the COVID vaccine.


I broke down and wept when my husband and I received our appointment confirmations. I wanted to hug the gentleman who administered the shots. I didn't. Social distancing and all. But I thanked him profusely. 

A weight has been lifted. There's a light at the end of this long dark tunnel. I have hope. Hope that I can spend time with my family soon. Hope that I can visit with friends this summer. Hope that I can travel and do in-person book events this fall. 

Hope.

And I hope, if you haven't already received the vaccine, you'll get it SOON.

Stephanie Claypool I had my first one a week ago and I have felt immensely happier every minute since. I had gotten used to living under COVID restrictions. I thought I’d come to handle them okay. But when I left PNC Park after my jab, it was as if I’d lost 10 pounds and had the weight of the world lifted from me. I could have skipped home.
