Hey there and hello:

How about those healthcare workers? I am in awe of all of my friends and coworkers I have known through the many years I have been a nurse. They are really guarding the front line for great patient care. I am on the sidelines at present because of a major surgery, but I am still rooting them on from my seat up in the bleachers.

We need to ensure they have the proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to complete their jobs with as well. The shortage of masks and respirators is just too scary to even imagine. I hope we get this worked out as time goes on with this illness.

It is very scary out there today. I can't imagine what life will be like once it is settled. Will we go back to the way things were or will we realize there are new ways of completing tasks that we never thought of in the past. Just this morning, I had a telehealth doctor visit over the phone. I liked that a lot because I didn't have to travel an hour to get to his office. School's out, we can do online learning, the kids don't have to miss all their lessons.

I am astounded at the way we have come together even though we have to be apart - 6 feet anyway. It is amazing that we can disagree on so many things, but when we need to pull together as a nation, everyone always comes through.

Even the birds are getting in on the action, becoming louder each day and more happy like they are celebrating the lack of humans polluting their world with noise and trash. Sounds like an awesome world to return to if we can keep it like that.

Maybe we just needed a good reboot.

Please take good care out there until next time, Susan
