COVID Thoughts

While I've personally been blessed with being able to stay at home in a wonderful neighborhood, in a beautiful community, I cannot begin to imagine how difficult it must be for families to be confined to small spaces during this corona virus pandemic.  My heart goes out to those who are enduring the unimaginable hardships that have been placed on everyone, but, especially on those who live in small homes or apartments and have been unable to leave due to the restrictions of stay-at-home orders.  Never did any of us ever think that we'd be facing such circumstances.  The astounding number of those experiencing the devastating illness and deaths is beyond comprehension.  Our gratitude to the first responders and the dedicated hospital personnel who face the wrath of this pandemic 24/7 with utmost professionalism, compassion, and grace.  As we begin to see a slight easing of restrictions in many areas, we can only hope that life will soon return to some form of normalcy.  As we slowly move forward, we must rely on each other to follow appropriate safety protocol to keep all of us safe. 

While everyone has a different comfort level for going out in public, I hope that everyone will maintain a standard of safety for themselves, their families, their friends, and our community.  Follow protocol for social distancing, washing hands, wearing a mask, and disinfecting touched surfaces.  I, personally, do so whenever I go to a public place or when showing property.  Let's continue to do all we can to be safe and slow the spread of COVID-19.
