Finding the Good During the Pandemic
This is our eighth month into the life we know of as “social distancing” and “wearing of masks.” We’ve actually conditioned ourselves to wear the masks with style – we have matching masks with our daily dress, we have made masks fun by donning our team logos, our current catch phrases to make statements just for fun, etc., but let it be known, at the same time, we are being cautious and responsible which makes us all heroes in this fight.
Thank you to all! Let us not forget that we are saving lives every day when we comply to the requests of our leaders and doctors that have at least pinpointed the basic necessities that we as the public can do to slow down the spread of this infectious disease. Just being cautious shows our love and respect for the person next to you, our family and friends. A lot of the spread has been remedied by most people being granted the opportunity of working from home. We have PPE for further containment of the virus and rules that our business owners have put in place to keep its customers safe while in their establishments. We all are in this together and we are as a whole working together for the greater good and the survival of everyone.
In part, this has been no small feat for the community. We’ve gone through a lot during this time, but we’ve persevered. Realize that we have been vigilant in this fight, because without the measures that were put into place, we would be in a much worse situation.
And as we celebrate the good, remember that this has not been without loss. Some have suffered greatly because of this virus. Our loved ones have sometimes had to weather alone the storm of the virus because of the fear of spread. That is something we all have had a problem comprehending, even though it is necessary, with how we must now tend to our sick, shut-in, and terminal loved ones who must be hospitalized during this time because of this pandemic.
With all of this being said my community, stay vigilant, focused, continue to take the best care of yourselves for the sake of your family, friends, coworkers and neighbors.
“Love thy neighbor as thyself.” Leviticus 19:18
