Never Have I Ever

If you are reading this some time in the future, you will note by the date that we are in the throws of a very strange time for us.

Every 100 years, it seems, some major "thing" happens. That major thing happening right now is called COVID-19.

I am a healthcare worker, I am an RN. I have been for 25 years. I have seen times where we thought this was going to happen, but this is not a drill.

Everyday life as we know it has come to a halt. We are all practicing "social distancing" and buying up all of the toilet paper we can find because, you know, you may run out and can't leave the house. Or, whatever logic was used by everyone who bought it all up.

Schools are closed. Social activities have stopped. You cannot go eat at a restaurant. I can't make this up! It is happening live right now.

I could go major indepth here. Give you some Bible and maybe scare you into being "saved" at least until this is over. But, I'm not.

I want to say right now and have the future bear witness to this that "This too shall pass."

All of our current fears, all of the uncertainty, all of the sickness, the deaths, all of it, it will pass.

I'm not afraid of tomorrow. We have weathered many storms here on earth.

I listened to the news this morning. Various news snippets from various providers. One theme for them all...blame. Blame the CDC. Blame the producers of PPE. Blame the government. It was disgusting. All the finger pointing from main stream media gets ridiculous. Not once, not once did I hear any of them on any broadcast offer anything positive. And, if they have all the answers, why didn't the all powerful media do something besides the blame game.

I was raised by a newspaper man in the days when the press maybe had a little more integrity. I can remember him telling me when I went to work at the paper that I wasn't entitled to an opinion, I was only entitled to tell the facts.

haha THOSE days are gone.

Like any of us have the answers right now? Seriously. This is something none of us have experienced. You have turned this whole situation into an agenda and that is wrong. You should be helping us see life as it is. If I were your mother I would send you to your room.

Mainstream Media      You STINK.

Yours Truly,
