What we do have

Upon observation and reflection, I’ll simply offer my two cents ...️

This COVID-19 precautionary period stinks! No doubt about it! And YES, our way of life has significantly changed now that we have:
An airport without travelers.
A business without clients.
A carpool without passengers.
A church without parishioners.
A concert without followers.
A game without spectators.
A gym without members.
A home without visitors.
A hotel without guests.
A mall without consumers.
A meeting without attendees.
A rally without supporters.
A restaurant without customers.
A school without learners.
A theater without fans.
A nation without normalcy.

And while we are unimaginably impacted by what we don’t have in our community, what we absolutely, indisputably do have is:

• A community of AMAZING first responders, providing assistance in cases of emergency when needed.
• A community of INCREDIBLE healthcare professionals, working tirelessly to provide care and comfort for those who are sick.
• A community of PHENOMENAL leaders, making decisions to address the critical needs of its citizens.
• A community of EXTRAORDINARY educators and support personnel, preparing continuous education and providing support for all their students.
• A community of REMARKABLE business owners, creatively providing resources, services, and product delivery.
• A community of SPECTACULAR workers, continuing to do what they do in innovative ways while ensuring the safety of themselves and their coworkers.
• A community of UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL supporters, lots of them, stepping up during this unprecedented time of need to help others in whatever way necessary.

While the challenges are great, the blessings I am observing are far greater. ️
