What Now?

I see it's been a very long time since I last posted, and with all the hoop-lah going on right now with the virus, I felt like it might be helpful it I started up again. Not sure if I still have any "posting" skills left......as I said, it's been a long time. But hey.....I'm willing to throw some stuff out there if it helps someone. This of course is a most challenging time for us all, scrambling to find ways in which to cope in a situation that we never believe we would have to endure. After all, this is the kind of stuff that happens only on the big screen right? I won't even question why Netflix started streaming OUT BREAK a couple of weeks ago. I thought that was pretty interesting to say the least. However, what can you do? What can any of us do at this point with a bleak reality ready and positioned to envelope what is left of this country of ours? So many questions, with not many answers......so we all look to the people around us that love and care about us to make sense of what is left.

I do have to say, and not so long ago, that something big was going to happen, that would shut us all down. I thought it was our latest political situation, but I'm beginning to wonder if the something BIG that was coming had nothing to do with that. Is it a God thing? Did the world just need a good cleansing? I almost feel like I'm sitting on the beach watching Noah build the great ark. Just waiting patiently for him to pick and choose who will get to board this huge boat, then off to new horizons. How exciting does that sound? Yes....pretty exciting if you're one of the chosen ones. I have to ask myself daily, will I get to board, or will I have to reckon with what may be true for some of us......no your time is up.

For myself, I would welcome a chance to leave this world, for I have been suffering most of my life with an affliction. Sorry to sound morbid, but I'm just slap worn out! I am desperate to find a place where there is no more physical pain and suffering. A place where I can wake up and take a deep breath, roll over without wincing in pain, and make my way to the bathroom without stumbling and mumbling to myself.....oh lord God in heaven.....not another day of this.

I guess to keep this short and in a nutshell......even....EVEN.......in the midst of all of this craziness, consider yourself extremely lucky indeed that at least for these days ahead that you are shut up in your house, you can dance around the kitchen with your spouse, children....or just by yourself, and smell the coffee that's brewing, and maybe think about going for a long walk in the woods! At least we can feel safe doing that if nothing else. I pray that this block of time that we think is so bad, will bring families closer together. I also hope there's going to be many people who will start to journal.........for all of this needs to be recorded!
