There are days when I wake up thinking I had a nightmare and then I realize………it’s just 2020! I mean, we are surrounded by so much foolishness. We have one clown as a leader and and another trying to run in a “birthday party.” The handling of this pandemic has been an atrocity. But enough of my venting. 

But what really gets me is how four months ago everyone was talking about “we are all in this together,” but that whole idea has changed in recent weeks. Let’s examine all the ways we are not in this together:  

1. How hard is it to wear a mask? People talking about it’s their right not to. Over 4 million people have contracted COVID19, when will people take this seriously? Wearing a mask saves you and me. Unless you have been oppressed as a people, wearing a mask is not the end of world. 
2. Why are people complaining about their kids not going back to school? This is unchartered territory. It is important to do what is best for students AND staff. Listen, I am an educator and I know the importance of children being in school; however, I also do not want to not risk my life if I don’t have to. Everyone was praising teachers at first and now people throwing them under the bus because for once they want to be selfish. As a country, we are worse now than we were four months ago. What sense does it make sending hundreds of kids to a school building where Covid-19 can spread to students and staff alike? *insert shrug emoji*
3. So many people are struggling financially during this pandemic. People have lost their jobs or are trying to keep their businesses afloat. Let’s not just say we are in this together and not support people. If you are in a good financial place, be a blessing and sow seeds into a small owned business or a family/friend who may be going through a hard time.

 The only we can make progress as a country and get back to normal is when we all do our part. We do our part not just for ourselves,  but for others too. Let’s not just say we are all in this together, but actually walk in it too. Helping others also helps you!

Stay blessed!
