Doing Our Part

This whole new reality… this entire world is sharing at this time.

It’s been very fluid… to say the least.

Yet… for the most part… it does not matter where one is located on this planet.

Love from the rest of the world is being sent.

We keep each other in our thoughts.  Our prayers.

We encourage each other.  We offer support and help whenever… and wherever we can.

We stand together to square up those few attention seekers… that just cannot help stepping out of line.

Will they ever learn there is nothing good to be gained… by choosing to be ugly?

Perhaps it is easier for them to learn there is more than they can handle… by choosing to be ugly?

Those of you making those choices… need some food for thought.

The Courthouses are closed.  No immediate arraignments for you.  HA!

Still thinking about choosing to be absolutely stupid?

We are here at home… doing our part.

Carlie and I have been Good Girls!

Everything has been sanitized a little more than the usual.

I do need to run to Costco tomorrow for basics.

But I think I will also pick up another Foodsaver.

I’ve become more the Observer through the Internet… watching how people react.

I’m calm.  I’ve always been prepared… for the most part.

But then… I always avoid the news… for the most part.

I don’t allow myself to get sucked into all the fear mongering.

But then again… I’m smart enough to do my own research.

It makes no sense… to cry later because I’m drowning in truth after a fair warning.

I tend to research and find what I’ve been raised to call… ‘The Horse’s Mouth‘.

I seek videos shared by individuals going through their personal experience with the virus.

I feel honored to hear their considerate message.

Who better to be in a position to be honest?

Doctors have come out of retirement and are reporting from the battle areas… where they are helping with trying to heal patients and get ahead of this virus.

There have been moments when my soul has lost control of tears soaking my tee-shirts.

To see… and listen to so many Italian hearts come together from their balconies and sing in unison.

Ahhhh, they had me crying and laughing at the same time while watching one particular video!

Singing one of Black Sabbath’s songs!  That was just classic!!

Then… just when I get a handle on my emotions…

Nico Mastromatteo pulls a stunt.

He and that violin out on his balcony… playing my favorite Ed Sheeran song!

Yes… it was… Perfect!

So beautiful!

Like I say… I avoid watching the news.  And I’ve had to make a trip to my Pharmacy… as well as the grocery store.

But when doing either…

To see a cashier working inside a grocery store.

Seeing all the employees present at my chosen Pharmacy.

To see a Governor ask for closed hospitals to be opened for bed space.

To see Restaurants that normally open only for inside seating close down… and set up Curbside Pickup and Home Delivery Services!

And all you Home Delivery Drivers!

The Mail Carriers!

Fedex and UPS Drivers!

Convenience Store Cashiers!

Petroleum Delivery Drivers!

Distribution Workers!

Inventory / Grocery Truck Drivers!

Each and every one of you… and anyone else I may not have mentioned (please forgive me)… are so greatly appreciated… more than words can describe!

I’ve taken this time to reconsider my current environment for living.

I really do miss my garden.  I’m not allowed to plant one where I am now.

However… I have ordered supplies for some alternative plans.

But this experience shows me how I need to consider some of my past experiences in sustainable living… when it comes time for buying a home.

Makes me think about something.

I see all these HOA’s creating a nightmare for the real estate market in the near future.

City Halls need to take a serious look at all their Regulations as well.

Disallowing homeowners to grow real food… rather than mow grass… makes YOU look REALLY stupid.

Poultry Hens (not roosters) should be allowed in any fenced back yard.

Human Beings have a born right and necessity… to eat healthy food for nourishment.

It’s already been proven that the demand can’t be met by our Government and the Corporate World.

Get out of the way and let us grow our own damn food!

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to be going hungry in this world.

Especially in the United States.

And our Farmers in this whole Nation deserve the right to sell their products… on their premises… to the local people in their areas… in EVERY state!!!

More and more… as we all sit inside our homes… I hope and pray… more people take the time to reconsider their priorities.

I pray more people figure out that their most significant needs… should be their greatest wants.

I pray more people become more considerate of… and for… one another.

I pray more people come to honor the fact that… in many cases… just because you can… does not always mean you should.

YOUR actions determine the health of this planet.

Everything is connected.

Everyone is connected… in one way or another.

It’s time to wake up and be a part of that fact.

Know that you are not alone.

Know that you are loved.
