Blessings during a pandemic<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note: East Grand Superintendent Frank Reeves recently received this letter from a Grand County parent and offered to share it with readers.<\/p>\n

While I have ample short stories of the good, humorous, and, quite frankly at times, \u201cattempts\u201d at concerted efforts in my home to accomplish good learning, hibernating at home with my four cubs, ages 1-10, is reminding me of a few life lessons that are helping us all to thrive.<\/p>\n

Life happens in the process, not the product of family. My kids have been introduced to a pace of life that is far less productive by cultural standards, but noticeably profitable in moments of peace as we are free from rushing, from busyness, from dividing my attention in too many directions that I can no longer discern their unspoken needs (my fault, not theirs). To my physical neighbors that read this and say, \u201cRebecca, we can hear you every day from our house next door.\u201d<\/p>\n
