What a year 2021 was

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that this last year has been a roller coaster to say the least. It's been up and down, around and around the whole last year. Sadly and I do apologize for it, I have let my blog fall by the wayside until recently. I have been dealing with depression, infections and then recently, after over a year of somehow dodging it, I caught COVID. But good news is I'm on the mend and my life has slowed down finally so I can focus back on my blog and my YouTube channel, My Life On Wheels. I cover everything from my Catholic Faith, though at this moment those videos are not posted because I need to redo a few of them and make changes, my disability, gaming stuff, as well as tips for creative writing and tabletop roleplay games character creation.

Update

So it's been a while since I've been able to update. I think my last update was in what, May? Anyway, from June until September 30th, I was living with a friend's mom and had no internet access to even update the blog My former caretakers wouldn't even let me pray in peace or do anything remotely related to the Catholic Church Rehabilitation to walk again has been the only thing keeping my sanity in that time I'm back with my husband and things are going okay so far. I hope to be more up to date on the blog soon

Apologies and Updates

I am so sorry I have been away for so long. Between COVID-19, school and a recent medical procedure that I had done yesterday, I haven't had the time to devote to this blog as I had hoped. Now that things are calming down schedule wise, I should have a lot more time to devote to posting more here. So a few things to go over. First off, hopefully if everything goes well, I'll be doing a Daily Thoughts section. This section will be my thoughts on devotions, prayers, teachings and the such. Second, I'll be posting YouTube links from my favorite Catholic YouTubers. Third. There will be a section added for Prayer requests

My Thoughts On Coronavirus COVID-19

Well I'm sure everyone's heard about this by now, Coronavirus COVID-19. Pretty scary that Italy has now shut down completely now. Some people take this lightly, saying things like, "Oh it's just a flu strain." or "Oh the media's hyping this up." Both statements are true. HOWEVER, for those of use with compromised immune systems or other disabilities, Coronavirus can be pretty serious and even deadly. So while I'm asking you all not to panic over Coronavirus, please do not take it lightly either! For those of us in the disabled community, whether we were born with our crosses or aquired our crosses through illness, age, or accident, we need to take this very seriously. Washing our hands, staying away from anyone who is even mildly sick if possible can help keep us healthy. Also, turn to the Lord in these trying times, not to just pray for yourselves and your loved ones but for all of those who are affected by Coronavirus and for those who care for them. Another thing is, and while I understand the need for caution, Italy has suspended all religious gatherings in light of Coronavirus. In times past, such as the Black Plague, this has not happened! People were encouraged to go to Mass, receive the Blessed Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and go to Confession. Now, instead of turning to God, the world is shutting Him out in the midst of this outbreak, when if you ask me, we need Him the most! If you are in an area affected by Mass closures, I strongly urge you to make an act of Spiritual Communion and Perfect Contrition, getting to Confession and Mass as soon as you possibly can.
