Loneliness, Covid, & Condoms

Loneliness, Covid, & Condoms...my thoughts from my car ride in: 

These days are lonely for so many people. Not only are we socially distant we are also physically, emotionally, and spiritually distanced, we were made for community. We were built to need each other. 

Don’t isolate yourself and if you know of others isolating themselves please reach out. Some folks are very lonely, others are scared, exhausted, anxious, stressed...

Please don’t accept this distancing as a way of life as our “new normal,” it is not normal! We need each other, we need to be in connection with each other. 

There are ways to do this safely and we hear about them every day:

keep your distance

wear a mask

wash your hands

don’t get together in large groups

People still think it won’t happen to them and I am here to tell you it knows no age, gender, or ethnicity. 

I have come to think of contracting COVID-19 just like you would contract an STD. When you’re around people you don’t know who they’ve been around and who the people they’ve been around have been around. Even though you’re only exposed to one person you’re exposed to hundreds. So, we have options abstinence or we can let facemasks and hand sanitizer be the condoms of COVID-19! So mask up peeps and pass the 60% alcohol! 

Every day I see people affected in different ways by all this crap going on and I need to do my part to reach out as well.
