Lessons Learned

Earlier this week I went on quite a rant about COVID-19 and how it was making me feel.  Since then, I've come to the conclusion that maybe we all need to learn some important lessons from this thing.  I've definitely heard of some people being crap weasels by hoarding items and stealing out of other peoples' grocery carts, but for the most part I have witnessed, through Facebook, kindness.  People offering food and rides to the elderly among other things.  Maybe we were all just getting a little too selfish and needed a wake-up call worldwide!  Maybe, just maybe, it will bring us all together and we will remember to treat each other with our hearts.  Maybe, in the near future, our words will be for encouragement and not bashing. 

This morning my dryer pooped out on me and the weirdest thing happened...I didn't get mad, I just hung my clothes outside.  Then I thought that was possibly a lesson from the Big Guy about waste and my clothes needed to be outside to get rid of the virus.  Instead of anger I felt kind of grateful and protected.  I'm using the good old TP sparingly and the same thing with other paper goods.  I'm thinking about stuff.  I told my husband that we can't throw out anymore leftovers and I'm thinking of ways to stretch things.  I feel empowered.  I'm thinking about the things I've taken for granted and how I can readjust my way of thinking.  I'm not thinking about this virus in such a bad way anymore.  I mean, I don't like it and it's still a suck monster, but I guess life has a way of giving you what you need and not what you want.  Lessons are being learned and I believe that we are going to come out of this better than we went into it!!

Peace and Elbow Bumps! 💓
