We blessed, not caged. We choose to participate in saving the the world by the mere act of sitting this one out. For a few weeks. Or months.
Our admiration and hopes are for the awe-inspiring health care professionals and scientists who care for the sick and develop the vaccine to deliver to an anxious world.
We help where we can; where we are able. We offer kindness. A trip to the grocery store for a neighbor. A word of encouragement, a wave of recognition, a smile at a stranger.
And we count our blessings, even the small ones:
- Sitting out on the balcony in the middle of the afternoon, enjoying the warmth of a spring day.
- The no-commute commute to work
- Shorter work schedule because of the no-commute commute
- A smaller gas bill
- Social media, which has (in the past) been snerkked at by one and all, is now a nifty way to join distant friends and family for coffee–> or wine–> any time. It’s not incompatible with Social Distancing.
- Guilt-Tree retail therapy via the internet –> no need to get dressed –> or even buy(!)
- Reading a book at lunchtime
- Snuggled in a quilt
- On my couch
- With the dog
- On my couch
- Snuggled in a quilt
- Simply knowing we will get through this
Whatever it takes. We are all in this together.
