Life As We Know It
So here in Louisiana, outside is scheduled to open back up on Friday. I don’t know how I feel about this. Well I do know how I feel about outside opening back up. It feels like a hunger games experiment. If I’m being honest my anxiety is doing back flips right now. How do we go back to life as we knew it? Nothing’s changed!!! Our health care providers are overworked as it is and we are gonna just send people back into the wild like this. Yeah! As much as I wanna go back to life as I knew it, I don’t think right now is the time.
I read a post on Facebook about the Phase 1 opening and it sounds like a bunch of contradictions to me. Shopping malls and retail stores are opening. Day Cares are re-opening. They are even opening up the movie theaters, but “they” are saying to stay home except for essential needs. I don’t know about you, but this scares me. They tell us that we have to limit functions at home to family size, but I can go and congregate in the streets with strangers. Like, “what are you serious?” I knew at some point they would have to open the economy up and some of us are going stir crazy in our homes, but ummmm…. Is this the correct way to go about it? This scares me. There has been no real progress. There’s no cure or vaccine and they just throwing us out here all willy nilly.

The new norm - Face masks, gloves, and social distancing. It’s all too much for me, so gone head and label me #teamyallgofirst! I have so many questions, so many concerns, but you know what… I’m trusting God through it all. He got this, there is nothing He can’ t handle. Plus He told me He would never leave me. So that means even in the comfort of my home, He’s with me. He told me to use wisdom, so as for me and my house we gone remain in the house cause “aint nobody got time fa that.” Yall have fun, I’ll be watching from my phone screen.
