In Times Like These...🙏💚🙏

In times like these, one appreciates life more, even the tiny things.  I've always been the kind of person who appreciates everything, maybe because I have an inner sensitivity, higher than others?  It doesn't take much...Things changed for me, back in 1999, when another real tragedy hit me, where my Loved one (my boyfriend, Gee) passed on, dying in my arms almost...  Before, when he was sick and I would leave home for just a few moments, to go get him something that he liked, even if it was raining, I would smile, and *caress* those raindrops.  It was Life! and it helped me remember that I was alive, even with all the doom and gloom surrounding me, because of Gee's sickness.

This *Covid~19 tragedy* has definitely brought together more people than ever, from the different corners of the universe.  Thanking technology for this miracle of *togetherness*, where strangers reach out, hugging each other in a virtual embrace, wishing well to all.  But then, there are also people with negative attitudes, and stressed out personalities, and you read all kinds of things,  some really crazy and absurd.  I'm still sort of smiling over a comment I read where a lady had compared (she was writing a letter to her son who is a three~year old, for years to come) these times, of the pandemic, to how things were in WWII.  I mean, I wasn't born during the war, or any wars, but, come on, you can't team them up, not even close!  Food can be found, the shelves are replenished every day in the supermarkets...Some shops are closed, but a lot of things can be found in the supermarket chains, so, please, lady, think three times before writing things like that.  We have to stay home, but a breath of fresh air can be taken in every once in a while...

Then, you get those who complain constantly:  When I read complaints, on social media mostly, I feel a bit sad:  what if we were really *robbed* of all contact?  not being able to relate with anyone? by phone, by WhatsApp, by the www?!  That indeed would be a close tragedy... We should just embrace everything that we have, at this moment, right now, for it's all an incognito!  Sure, no one lives forever, and--one day or the other--for whichever reason, when time is up, we go, but this is panicky.  Really!  Covid~19 is a silent enemy lurking out there and we don't know when it will strike, or who.  Very scary indeed!

Sometimes, I  feel a bit down, closed up, and sometimes I feel afraid and at loss...What if I get sick?  what if I can't see the people I love anymore?  What if I have to go to the hospital?  how to survive?!  It scares me stiff...  Then, I look out the window and see blue skies, and trees blooming, birds chirping, and I feel a 😃little better.🌝😃 However, it's just temporary!   I'm also having problems with work, no work, no income, and I am lucky to have Friends/Fans/Family send me a little help here and there.  I am so thankful...my Angels around the universe... 👼👼👼

What an eerie situation...I went out on the street, at dusk, and, the only sound I heard, was silence, and the echo of my voice...when I called out ***is anybody out there...echo are you there?!*** Indeed, I heard my echo coming back like a boomerang...

It's so surreal, some scenes similar to those that you see in a science fiction movie...empty streets, everyone inside their homes, under cover, supposed safety...Yet, ALAS, it is so real! 

I was thinking of some Music to add here, appropriate for my story, and I was scanning through my memory, I remembered this by Sugar Ray, an APPROPRIATE title indeed:  KEEP THE STREETS EMPTY for ME...

Maybe this will be continued, maybe not...let me publish for now...
