This is my fourth Slice of Life and I look forward to it each year. This year ended up being a little different. I enjoy reading about everyone’s personal lives outside of our school days. It gives me an opportunity to share a little bit of my world outside of being a school social worker.
I have a different appreciation for the Slice this time around. During this time of social distancing, it was nice to feel connected to my friends and others. Even though it was tough for us to come up with different things to write about since our “regular” lives were on hold. It was still nice to "know" you are there and a sense of normalizing what we are all currently living through. There were funny stories shared, lists of to do’s to do, learning how to Zoom, and just knowing that I was and am not alone in all of this...that was the most comforting part. I think that was the best part. Even though social distancing is keeping us apart physically, we still are able to connect through our stories. I have missed sharing our stories in person, but I am grateful for our opportunity to connect this way. I can’t wait to see you all and share our stories in person! Take Care and Be Well!

I am so glad that I joined this community. I am glad that it was not a stressful experience trying to do one more thing each day, but a true connection to others during a time when I needed it most!

It was a crazy one that is for sure. Hope you are doing well, and hope to see you very soon! You better be ready for a poetry as soon as we are allowed.
