Lord, I my vows to thee renew
disperse my sins as morning dew
guard my first springs of thought and will
and with thyself my spirit fill
Thomas Ken
Life around here has been pretty quiet ever since the outbreak of the coronavirus. At least at home. Emily and I head out into the world for two reasons: Work and an occasional grocery shopping trip usually just for fruit/greens. We try to limit our activities outside among people as much as possible, always asking ourselves if this is a necessity for us or not. Emily has been experimenting in the kitchen as she has more time on her hands. Her work hours have been cut in half.
All the quiet that we have been experiencing at home does not extend into our work force. For me, work has continued on even though many of the people are not here. They are coming and going, using their vacations, fmla or anything else they can get hold of in order so they can stay home. People are either afraid, want to shelter in place or continue working. Either way, there is plenty of gossip, innuendos and drama. People really do lose their way when in a struggle of any kind. They don't band together, instead they separate and the "me" mentality takes over. I shouldn't say all, but a good portion really show their ugly side.
Restaurants and stores are offering curbside ordering. Businesses are still operating via the internet. Churches are using Facebook to preach online. No matter what is going on, the world is still turning. People are adapting to their situations. The need to survive, to thrive is strong and no one can take that away from you.
We will come out of this, we will adapt and succeed. We may need to address how we do things, but we will be fine.
Have a blessed day everyone.
