really even matter anymore

when it feels like no matter how safe you try to be things can still get you.

That no matter how you tell people do not do that

That they do it anyways.

Life is what you make of it and we are all born and we will all die.

But, what we make of our time here on earth is what matters.

But lately how can one go about doing that when people make life seem like a party

and in having fun you are endangering the ones you love.

For the sake of having a good time but will it matter that you had fun if you kill all those that loved and trusted you.

Will it matter that you can say this year wasn’t a complete waste because you enjoyed the dangers and came out of it but, did the other people around you come out of it too?

  1. Spot on! This is so great – something my family and I are dealing with now too – do we go out? Do we stay in? We’re starting to see other people having parties, go to gatherings, and we wonder . . . are we doing the right thing for us? For them? For everyone?

    It’s hard to argue with science, but I {for one!} am looking forward to going out without worrying I’ll bring home the Coronavirus to my family . . . so it’s to the store, to the park, and long walks alone with just me, the dogs, and my boys for now 🖤

    Thank you so much for joining us this week!
