Narrow

I have had to let go a volunteering position I very much wanted to keep this year, working in a school garden with fourth-graders. 

I am just not physically able to continue.

This loss tightens isolation around me even more. I expect I tolerated the Covid years of isolation better than some because I like solitude. 

But I like to get out in the world, too, and interact with people, and now my ability to do that has been curtailed. It's another one of those times when life trips me up. There isn't a person alive who is free from that. 

I think, out of all the long roads I've had to travel, health wise, this might very well be the longest and most challenging.
