I Have A Lot On My Mind Today

Tweet

Wow ... the 34th case of coronavirus has been reported ... today, already. It was 33 cases this morning. (yes, I am keeping up with what's happening in the state of North Carolina ... we live here ... it's to our advantage to know what is happening around us). I was looking on the map last night ... at least 14-15 cases are in the next county (Wake) beside us ... some of those people visited stores we go to. Of course, it has been almost 2 weeks since we have left home. Wake county is 'just right up the road' from us ... our doctors, hospital ... shopping is all in Wake county. I am so glad we've stayed home now ... it is a wise move. I hope others are too. The strange thing is I'm not hearing what is going on around us right now. We used to know ... we used to go out for coffee ... or tea to get out of the house for a short time. I make it at home but, it was an excuse for us to get out, socialize for a few minutes. No more. We've been home almost 2 weeks. On our local news ... in Raleigh (our place we go all the time ... Wake County) ... they just showed a line reaching around the building of Costco. It's crazy how people are acting ... acting like they have to buy everything up. I blame the stores for allowing it to happen ... for not putting a limit on each product. I hope they will be penalized for letting people run rampant in their stores. People get hurt by such, physically. An older person doesn't stand a chance against strong, young people ... they just get passed by, ran over. Shameful. I hope store owners will make their own rules to how people shop in their stores to keep calm, peace ... keep panic away. They contribute to it letting this go on. Do I sound harsh? I don't mean to ... I care about people ... I'm not out there so, it's not 'all about me'. I believe in fairness. I voice my opinion ... it doesn't always mean I'm right. I don't push what I think on others nor do I let them push their opinions on me. I think for myself. So, know if I see, hear, read something that makes me think ... see where I need to change my opinion ... I will. I'm also, big enough to say I'm sorry if I'm in the wrong. I wanted everyone to know that. I'm not just some opinionated person who is close-minded ... no way, I have a big ... open mind. I love to learn ... I love to see where I'm wrong to make it right. Oh ... I'm the most imperfect person you can meet but ... a good person This is what's on my mind today. Now ... I'll go get another cup of coffee with ... extra cream. I have a lot on my mind today.
