COVID 19

I am too lazy to write tonight, but I copied this from someone else's Facebook post. Soon I may try to write about the constant and sever worry and anxiety I am experiencing right now.

No gatherings of 50 or more, then 20 or more, now 10 or more.

Don't socialize with anyone outside of your home.

We are to distance from each other.

This is the Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic, declared March 11th, 2020.

Why, you ask, do I share this status?

One day it will show up in my memory feed, and it will be a yearly reminder that life is precious and not to take the things we dearly love for granted.

We have so much!

Be thankful. Be grateful.

Be kind to each other - love one another - support everyone.

We are all one! ❤️
