These
are troubling times..
Here I am
on the verge of my 80th birthday… and I have to say, with all that
has gone wrong with the world in my life time.. this is the worse. It isn’t so much about the virus itself…and
that is bad for those who have it…. But the panic I have seen… the disregard of
common sense and some times even nastiness of it all.
Thankfully
I have also seen (not personally) others who have come to the plate to help…
Kindness… some going further than others..
There is a young man, who was able to get some supplies, and was going
from senior apartments door to door, to see if they were ok, and if they needed
the commonest of supplies. Did they have enough toilet paper as he had some he
could share.. Tissues, wipes. Did they need a ride to the store? Or did they need something from the store..
And he would go get it.. take it back to them.
If they didn’t have cash, he paid for it himself. If they had a check, he would take that..but
if not, the let them have it for free.
He started a page on Facebook .. asking for people to join him.. To pass
the word of need, so he could help. And
people did.. Some couldn’t physically help, but had extra supplies for him to
pass out with.. Or they gave money for
him, to buy where he could. Some went
and got some things at the store and gave it to him to pass.
He is not
the only one.. There are sewers who have been asking for material so they could
make cloth mask for the hospital, dr offices and nursing homes.. And the
request was answered by those who had lots of material.. by those who sewed and
would help.. By those who had elastic bands or rubber bands for the ears
holders.. The offers were plenty for material..
There are
those who offered to come help in anyway… for senior citizens.. with letters
from the dr. saying they were healthy.. so the senior didn’t have to
worry. There are even teens who answer
the call. We have post office mail.. in
a lot of towns instead of door delivery… Some have offered to those who trust
them.. to get their mail and mail out their bills for them..
It does my
heart good to see all of these people.
We have
gone to our favorite restaurants and bought take outs.. and adding tips to the
workers who take our orders.. so they still get their tips, even tho we aren’t
in there… Sadly we were notified last
night, that our most popular one has folded..
Lack of supplies… I hope and pray this continues when this mess is over... That there will always be kindness.. we need it .. KINDNESS.
We have an
influx of people in RV’s coming in from California Florida already put a quarantine on people from New York …with New
York
So be safe
out there people… hope you are finding
something to keep you busy… My go to
place is yard work. Got some yard art from a friend.. so redoing the paint on
them… Also digging up flower gardens
that have gone wild on me.. And Yahtzee..
oh my God.. the King loves it.. and we play 3 times A DAY!!... When the grim
reaper comes to get me.. with his ratting chains… I will think it is the dice
and yell YAHTZEE… lol.. got to have a
sense of humor..
Hope you
can find something to smile about too.
God Bless
