It’s pretty strange out there. Really. I did some grocery shopping this morning, early, during the senior hours. People are strange and getting stranger. I saw one man muttering under his breath.  Some people were wearing masks and some were wearing masks and gloves. We all need to be careful and we all need to be comfortable in how we feel careful. When I got home, I stood and wiped down everything I bought, piece by piece.

It’s just strange, and the longer we go in this, the more strange it will get, I think. Like everyone else, I don’t know. I can’t say anymore with any certainty what it will be like tomorrow.

Today is my wife’s birthday. I won’t say how old she is. It will be a quiet one, like always, maybe more quiet than most.

So this will be short. I just have one political thing to say and that is that this is no time for politics. Won’t name any names or mention any sides. This is only a time for us as a nation to be coming together and to work together to get through this. Most people are doing the best they can. In general, it takes a long time to build something, but it only takes a moment to tear it down. If you’re one of those tearing it down, it’s a time to stop that and start building.

If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

And so it goes.

Just one other thing in this little rant. No one really knows what they’re doing in this. We’re all winging it.  If you’re trying, great. If you’re playing your point of view and you’re political agenda, cut it out. Most of us don’t have real information and much of what even the experts have may not be the truth.

Finally gratitude. I woke up this morning. I’m grateful. I went shopping and there was food and other supplies in the stores. I’m grateful. My family is alive and awake and busy now, and I’m grateful. Some people are really trying to get us through this. I’m grateful. I don’t agree with everything, but I live in a country where I don’t have to agree and can state my opinion. I’m grateful.

Gratitude and Positivity. Make the least negative assumptions and look to the sun.

Fun with words and words for fun.
