Covid-19, Catch-22, & Walking Through Fire & Rain There are several schools of thoughts this Covid-19 Pandemic . It can be a Catch 22. My feelings are mixed. There may be much ado about it but at the same time, I am a history buff. We've have pandemics and plagues in the past. Yellow fever, Scarlet Fever. Small Pox, the Spanish Flu and the Black Plague which killed a third of the world's population. A large percentage of Civil War soldiers died of measles. One school of thought will say "wear a mask if you care about the public safety of your fellow beings." The other school of thought will declare, "wear a mask and be a sheep who doesn't support the Constitution." One youngster indicated that I must be an old lady cowering in fear and isolated in her apartment because I choose to wear a mask. That is not quite true. I am part of that vulnerable population and much closer to the end of life's journey than the young lady. I am also the essential volunteer in my senior apartment building. I transport some of these folks to the grocery store and medical appointments. We are in and out of each other's apartments consistently and watch out for each other. I walk right up to the fire but I do it with caution. Social distancing and a mask when social distancing is not practical. I was also the essential volunteer when we had our floods a few years back. The power was out and there was no running water. I went out, found water, filled jugs and found other necessities to take to homebound seniors. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43:3  Abracadabra  |

Nevertheless, I am not going to jump into a river full of copperheads or handle a hot pan without a potholder. God gave us brains to use. Abracadabra

Good for you Starwomyn you are a keeper. Keep doing your good works. People like you and Kofla deserve our claps every night at 7 PM. That is my thing during Covid-19 to raise the spirits of the front-line workers.

Excellent, Star. I wish I could be as active to help as you are, but with my own limitations and taking care of Joe, I just can't. But I can help in other ways, and I do. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

You really are a breath of fresh air Star, and a such a kind and thoughtful lady too.

You may think all you have is yourself, but you should know there are many here on SFF that care about you. You have a heart the size of Texas Star and I am glad to know you.
