Social Distancing...WHAT?
It is an amazing time in history, isn't it? It just blows my mind to think of all that we've already endured as humankind only to face an invisible enemy in the Covid-19 virus. Whoa!
I stopped writing “Brain Bloggin'” some time ago because I was feeling selfish and tired of talking about my problems. I grew weary of letting cancer be my focus. I thought I needed to move forward and I have. Now, this “social distancing” and “shelter in place” stuff offers another opportunity for me to reach out. Hell, I've been social distancing since my brain surgery three years ago.
Anyone who knows me, is like “yea, right.” Extrovert much? Yep, that was me. Out and about, hanging with friends, always doing something. While my current situation is permanent, with God's grace and the cooperation of mankind, Covid-19 quarantine will be temporary. Albeit difficult for many, the alternative doesn't sound much fun. I mean, have you seen even one episode of The Walking Dead? And...Not to bring toilet paper into the mix, but come on, not everybody has it! Do you need more reason for social distancing? I hope I'm kidding.
In the beginning of my isolation, I very much remember the feeling of “you can't do this to me!” It sucks feeling so little control. Well, we never were in control and now it's in our faces that we aren't. That is hard to take, especially for those of us who really dig control. You know who you are. I'm one of you. Right now, facing a brand spanking new challenge I can only control so much. That's why I'm back on the blog circuit. I can't volunteer at a food shelf or help pack lunches or watch the kids while someone grabs groceries but I can write. I don't always make sense but I hope that sometimes I do.
It takes a village...
