Now I Long

Yesterday (all my troubles seemed so far away...) was a turning point for Jolynn.  Her meals were more substantial and included protein.  Her daughter visited so she had two attentive kids to cherish while resting on her bed.  Still no presence of the dreaded mouth sores they warned us about and no fever, either.  "Food tastes better today" is the comment she had after completing her egg and spinach breakfast this morning.  If it weren't for the monumental worry about germs, including the world health avalanche, Coronavirus, we'd be more inclined to socialize a bit more.  But, like millions of others, we are terrified and basically quarantined in our home.  Except for Mondays and Thursdays at the Cancer Treatment Center, and car repair appointments, and rental business errands and yard work supervision......so, not really quarantined at home.  
Yet.

I have to curtail my subject matter and reign in my outrage.  I could write about this virus and politics and how we treat people in this country and in the world and racism and sexism and homophobia and all of the other "isms" and my complete and utter disgust for some high profile individuals...but I won't.  

Deep Breath ~~~~~~

I am paying attention and I am angry.  Yet, I'm trying to find a path to some sort of peace to help me through this frightful storm.  All of these horrific challenges that humans have to endure on a day to day basis - now it looks like they are here to stay. 

A few hours with Trish yesterday was fulfilling.  I just needed a place to hide away.  We share a daughter, our beloved HC and when HC's moms can get together to brag about their child, it's always rewarding and creates essential endorphins.  Family, a sacred oasis in the blizzard of constant torrential bad news and viral infectious mindsets.  

Clinging to family at times of crisis and hiding from the shadow hanging over us is an age old coping mechanism.  I feel so very fortunate for family AND friends.  I know that Jolynn feels the same way.

Always a super fan of the Beatles, I have my favorite song.  I'm assuming that by now it's obvious.   What might not be obvious is that this same song is apparently Vladimir Putin's favorite song too.  

Humanity....

I could say that he's not half the man.............. but I won't.   I'll just leave it at that.  I don't want to say something wrong. 

Longing 
for world wide decency,  free from the disease of bias.
