Staying Patient During the Pandemic

 It's been an entire year since the virus and first lockdown  hit.  Actually, it's been much longer than that, in my opinion.  I have actually adjusted to this lifestyle, and plan to keep taking things slowly and carefully as we proceed.  I have learned not to let people rush me or push me into anything.  Listening to your body is, in my opinion, foolproof.  The body never lies.

I am grateful that I recovered from Covid in November of 2019.   I did notice some lingering symptoms that concerned me, but over time, they have dissipated.  My strength and power have returned.  I see strong parallels between this virus ad the AIDS crisis in the eighties.  I was close with many dancer friends who died during that time.  I sat at their hospital beds, brought them soup, and observed their painful decline.  I remember being shocked at how hard and fast the virus hit them.  They had been so muscular, vibrant, and healthy.  Suddenly they were skeletons with lesions.  Their bodies were listless and their eyes were hollowed.  All of them were all so young...in their twenties and early thirties.  How they used to look didn't matter, the horrifying effect was the same.

Each person has to make up their own mind how they will handle this current situation.  Some feel safe after getting vaccinated, some prefer to wait.  Others have ignored all precautions and flaunt the fact that they are breaking the rules.  

We can only control ourselves.  It's possible that highly sensitive people may know or sense things that you don't know.  Time will tell.  Each of us has to do what is best for us in this situation.  People are at different stages of life.  They have different priorities, agendas, financial and living situations, and reasons for their choices.  Time will tell...
