Seems we're all on the same channel these days. How are you doing? There are many people like myself that doesn't mind being by myself. And then there are people that need people. I'm guessing those folks are going through this a little harder. Some folks are okay with staying home most of the time, this is already their normal. Others are on the go all the time, and they must be stir crazy by now.
I was disappointed in my fellow Washintonians, for gathering in the woods and parks and causing the trails and state parks to be closed down. There were several of us, that alone or in couples or as families, enjoyed the time outside away from everything.
Now we can't because of a few selfish people.
I'm sure things like that are happening in your neighborhood too.
My dad always said, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch......
Don't be the bad apple.
Frustration, fear, facts, Grrrr.....
{and they wonder why the governments decided to keep the weed stores open}
People are getting irritable and many are trying so hard not too....
yet it happens.
The two biggest things people struggle with are
CHANGE
and the
UNKNOWN
We got both.
And we are ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
REactive behavior
or
PROactive behavior.
We have a choice.
Look forward and shake off the past.
Stop reacting.
Stop trying to put this back into place.
Start being PROACTIVE
and this does not mean buy as much TP as possible.
Start looking forward and ask yourself
What can you do to help?
Do you sew?
Make face masks for all your local folks that are out there facing the public every day.
Do you build?
Offer to make the sneeze guards for the cash registers.
Do you have elders on your block?
Check in on them and offer to go to the store for them.
Are you good at fund raising?
Find a local family that is struggling and make it your goal to help.
The more you focus on helping others the less you think about the past.
The more you think about the future, the less fear and frustration you'll feel.
How can we stop this virus?
By doing it together.....
Do you own a motel/hotel?.
Open up to the homeless, contact your local health dept and get those folks tested and in quarantine. The food bank and senior meals centers could deliver food.
Until we get the homeless off the streets we will never be able to end the spread of this virus. We are just going to keep running in circles.
I'm not blaming the homeless.
I'm simply pointing out that they don't have the ability to wash their hands multiple times a day. They don't have the ability to keep their belongings clean and virus free.
So how do we expect them to NOT GET THE VIRUS.??
Are we really all in this together?
or are we excluding those already homeless.
Blessed by God
