Covid 19

Don’t tell me you are not talking about the covid 19? It would be very difficult not to – it is everywhere. In the Radio, TV, YouTube, Social media, in our homes. By now I think everyone knows someone who had covid, or has had covid themselves. How do you feel about it? – “Don’t care; is not real; is not that bad; it is very bad; I fear it; I am scarred, I am careful; I will do everything I can to help and protect others; I am not leaving my house; I want to get it, so I can get on with life; I don’t believe it is that bad; I am devastated having lost loved once.”

How do I feel about it? I worked in a school, teaching last year until March. Once quarantine started and I finished school I had symptoms of slight throat ache, no appetite and feeling exhausted. After 2 weeks I felt better, but still very tired for about 6 weeks. Did I have it? Who knows?

We have been very careful. My husband David is very cautious, as he works from home and does not want to be off work. So we have been very careful. He stays home, only goes out for walks. I go out shopping. Over the last year we have seen our children and grandchildren on and off, sometimes back to normal and then again only seeing them outside. I wear a mask and carry hand sanitizers with me and used them often. We are lucky to live where we live having opportunities to walk everyday. David has a goal of at least 5 miles a day. I walk at least an hour, but most days more. I keep busy by doing craft projects, studying gospel topics, Spanish, German, English, cleaning, cooking, preparing and teaching zoom preschool (twice a week) to my grandson, yoga, walking, reading for a book club and now this website. We are both healthy, not on any medication and have a good immune system. I would see the family more, because I believe my body can fight illnesses, but who knows? I don’t want to get the vaccine, but feel it is necessary so that we can get back to normal life. I read up on alternative health people, who are against the vaccine, I understand, but also feel there is a time and a season for everything. What if we just wait it out? Let more people die? I don’t understand that attitude. Like I said before, we all have to do what is right for us.
