It Seems Impossible to Believe....

 ...but, I have actually climbed these stairs;

It was hot, it was hard, but what a triumph at the top!

COVID and Politics

 This has been an incredibly contentious year, on so many levels.

I'm so relieved that the election is over.  

But, something that happened this year, which is so very sad, is that this horrific virus became a political issue.  

Shouldn't a terrible, fast-spreading disease become a concern for everyone, without it resorting to resisting to having to wear a mask?  

I do not understand people, like my neighbors, who say it is a hoax, it's communism, it's taking away our freedom, and on and on.

It is common courtesy; it's caring about our neighbors, friends, and family.  

And, it is all VERY SAD. One quarter of a million people in America have lost their lives to this wretched virus.  That's 250,000 REAL PEOPLE.  Not Just NUMBERS, but people with children, grandchildren, parents, jobs, lives to live.

In this one issue, it would seem that Republicans and Democrats should be able to come together.  

NOT SO.  

I love America, but sometimes the events going on make me sorrowful.
