During These Trying Times

With everything going on with COVID-19, I understand that these are scary times. Italy is being made to make some tough decisions for her people, and my heart goes out to her people and their families. China's finally starting to see a light at the end of this dark tunnel that she's been made to go through. America... America's just trying to make it through the madness. I know that there are many other countries affected, but I haven't been able to keep up with the news like I would prefer.

While my husband and I have been blessed to not be afflicted by the virus, it hasn't kept us from seeing how it has been affecting the surrounding areas. Which leads me to the reason I felt the need to write this entry in my blog. I wish to provide what I hope are words of comfort to anyone who reads this, even if my words are not easy to read.

Do not let panic overwhelm you. Please treat this seriously; at least more seriously than I have admittedly treated it at first. However, don't let the worry overwhelm you that you live in constant fear of being hit by a microorganism that you won't even be able to see without a microscope in the first place. Take the precautions that the CDC have advised the community to take, but continue to live your life how you wish to live it. Panic makes people easier to control, and that is when you need to be vigilant of those in power.

I hope that all of you continue to be happy and healthy or return to good health as soon as possible. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Don't let this stop you from living.
