//I received the new prompt at the end of the Thursday-night, Twitter party. FOWARD. I went to bed. FORWARD was still on my mind as I awoke the next morning. I was definitely looking forward to a 3 day weekend.

I was also remembering my Grandmother, Virginia; looking backward on and off throughout the day. Friday would have been . . .

What joy I am finding in my weekends. The rhythm of work with the respite of some time off; being at home. It brings a bit normalcy to my soul during this abnormal time. But, what is "normal'? Webster defines it as "conforming to a standard or regular pattern."

A large portion of my job involves giving directions to people so they can find the clinic they need to be in.
