This is the day, in the Halferty household, when the "Wise Guys", as our kids called them, would come down off the shelf or windowsill on which they had been "traveling" towards Bethlehem and would appear in the Creche scene, along with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, the angels and the shepherds, the cow, the donkey, a camel, etc. It became a very crowded place.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Another New Years tradition that has developed for Mary Lou and I is COVID isolation. We started New Year 2021 by going into a 10-day isolation in our apartment, not because we had COVID-19, but because Mary Lou's visiting PSW had come down with it and we had potentially been exposed to it. Here we are, three years later, in the early days of New Year 2024, and I am in a 10-day isolation in the apartment because I tested positive for COVID this week; and Mary Lou is isolated or quarantined in her room at True Davidson Acres because I had been visiting her and she was potentially exposed to the virus. And they're trying to be extra careful on her unit, because a number of residents have had active COVID over the past ten days or so.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">One of the results of all of this is that I will be joining our liturgy ZOOM call on my own, from the apartment, this Sunday, and Mary Lou will be unable to join us. Hopefully, as time and COVID move on, things will soon return to normal.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Best wishes to all.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Brian</div><div><br></div><div class="ydpa3389abbyiv7889784548ydpb82727d8signature"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:new times, serif;font-size:16px;"><b><i><font color="#4c76a2">Brian Halferty</font></i></b></div></div></div></div></div>________________________________________<br><br>Sundaycommunity mailing list<br>To send message: <a href="mailto:sundaycommunity@integralshift.ca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sundaycommunity@integralshift.ca</a><br>To manage Subscription: <a href="https://sundaycommunity.integralshift.ca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://sundaycommunity.integralshift.ca</a><br>To Unsubscribe send email to: <a href="mailto:sundaycommunity-unsubscribe@integralshift.ca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sundaycommunity-unsubscribe@integralshift.ca</a><br>To Subscribe send email to: <a href="mailto:sundaycommunity-subscribe@integralshift.ca" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sundaycommunity-subscribe@integralshift.ca</a><br><br><br><br></div>
