As we now are facing another year of viruses, we are still wearing masks. We are still social distancing, and we are still frustrated because of what is going on. This pandemic has really messed everything up. People are still passing away. I have never seen so much death until now. I know that death is apart of life, but this is not normal, but what is normal this day in time? Just as we were getting comfortable not having to wear our masks unless we wanted to wear them, here we are now having to wear them even if we do not want to. What will it be like next year this time? Will we still be going through the same thing? Will things be different? How can we feel safe when we go out? In some places, people are not wearing their masks, and I am talking about workplaces. Wearing masks are to protect us from catching the virus, but it does not work, because people are still getting sick. What can we do? Our hands are tied when it comes to this. There are those who will not get vaccinated because of how they believe, and there are those who will not get vaccinated because they do not want to. How can the spreading of the viruses stop if people will not get vaccinated? Numbers are going up instead of decreasing. Everyday the numbers change for the worst instead for the better. I am going to do some research on the number of deaths since last year and for the number of deaths this year. You may wonder why I would do something like that. I am going to do it because maybe when I tell my family they will get vaccinated, but then again maybe they will think about it. I know I have been talking about this subject for a very long time; I guess I do because it is important. It is important to me because I want everyone to be in the know about what is going on. Everyone doesn’t watch television to know what is going on. Maybe there are those who would rather not know about what is going on because of fear; maybe it causes stress, depression, and anxiety for them. Everyone looks at things differently. I suppose this is something that we are going to have to go through for sometime until a cure can be found for this. We never thought that there would be a vaccine for this, but some how they seemed to manage to create a vaccine, so let us pray for a cure.

SUMMER IN FULL SWING

Now that Summer is in full swing, it has been very hot even when the wind is blowing. The heat index is even hotter. The question is this, how are we going to be able to go out and have fun? What can we do to enjoy the Summer? Since we have to social distance just as before, how are people going to go to the pool to cool off? Some people have the luxury of having pools in their backyard, or maybe even indoor, so cooling off in the water is at their fingertips. Some people like going into the ocean when they are at the beach to cool off and enjoy the water, but recently there has been shark sighting in the ocean, and the beaches closed because of it.

This is the time of year when vacations are being taken, but what now? Is traveling outside the country still alright, or has it stopped because of this new virus? I just do not think it is a good idea to travel right now, but I know that people are going to do what they have to do vaccinated or not. Life goes on as if this never happened. I just hope and pray that everyone will get vaccinated who has not been vaccinated, the good thing about this is that it is free. What if there was a fee to get vaccinated that everyone could not afford to pay for? What would people think then? How would people feel about it? What would people say? What would people do? I consider this a blessing not having to pay for the vaccine to get vaccinated. W

THOUGHTS

What are your thoughts about how things are now? How do you feel about those who are not vaccinated and these viruses are still spreading rapidly? What are your opinions as to how to keep this from spreading? We are all in tis together. We must protect ourselves and those we are around. How do you feel about the mask situation? In your honest opinion, do you think they are stopping the spread of the viruses? How do you feel about still catching COVID-19, and the Delta Virus even though people have been vaccinated? Should there be a different vaccine for this Delta Variant Virus that will keep people from catching the virus since the vaccine for COVID-19 is not really keeping us from catching the virus? You can leave your answers in the comments.

As I always say, we must pray to God for this to go away. We must not give up hope, and we must not lose our faith in God. Just think that one day this may be a thing of the past that we will get to tell our grandchildren about; some sooner than others, but we must stay positive even while going through this dark time we are facing. With that being said, thank you all for following me on my journey with Food for the Soul. Stay blessed and stay safe. ©2021
