Coronavirus craziness abounds here. I refuse to participate. Even if we Needed toilet paper now, I'd use a Tractor Supply catalog before going to the store and buying a roll of TP. That's just the way I roll - pun intended.
When we went to the store yesterday for our regular weekly visit, many of the shelves were bare. What struck me as interesting is that the things on our list seemed plentiful. There was hummus, cucumbers, carrots, and buttermilk. Thankfully there were plenty of choices for beer and wine.
Who knows where this thing will lead. This much I know for sure, we won't survive by being crazy and beating up on each other.
I saw a video on Social Media of a street in Italy. With his window open, a man began singing a folk song about the city. A few seconds in, people from all over the city joined in. It was a beautiful moment.
When tragedy strikes, we have two paths before us. We can go crazy. In this scenario, the strongest often survive. But the other Path is much different.
One of my friends posted on social media today that she has extra hand sanitizer, food, and over the counter meds that she would share with anyone who needed them.
Another reached out to elderly people in the community and volunteered to run errands so that the those who are more vulnerable would not be exposed.
The second path is people coming together to help each other through. When we take this path, we all have a chance to survive.
Which path do you prefer?
The picture below has nothing to do with this post, but the bees love these little suckers.
