More Purple Tulips. The World is beginning to open up again. 5/3/2020

Tomorrow I get to go back to the Gardens.  I'm excited to

be able to walk around and see what is blooming.

While things are opening I have a feeling it will be a long time before 

we have a normal life again.

In reading about this virus I realize that in the opening up 

of thing there is going to be more people dying.  They are

projecting 3000 people a day I think across the country will

die at some point.  It's sobering numbers.

I am amazed there are people who still believe this is some fake government

thing to put us under their control.  

I work in a grocery store, and thankfully I work a little bit

away from the average customer.  Most of the time

I'm in a little room doing the accounting, but all day long I still

wear a face mask and gloves.  My hands are so dry from wearing gloves

and sweating in them.  By the end of my shift all I want is to be home, away from

other people and their opinions. 

By the end of my work week I am worn out, physically and emotionally.

Thank you to those people who are kind enough to also wear face masks when shopping.

I feel that you are showing you care.  It's not a hard thing to do, wear something on your face and stay

6 feet away from others.  Some people though have a hard time with it.  So they don't wear masks, and they complain about the rules and they in my opinion are really saying they 

don't care if others get sick.   Everyday I wonder if I will get home and then

be sick with this virus.  Will I bring it home to my family?  Every day that I don't get sick I thank Heavenly Father.  I try not to worry or fear, I give it all to my Father in Heaven.

" If a Purple tulip could talk

She would say something calm

cool and wise, with out the flash

a soothing, ready balm..."

Poem by  Amelia Brown.

Tomorrow I get to walk the gardens.  The tulips may not

be in the greatest shape, but I know that the Iris will be starting to bloom.

There will be plenty to see, there will be calm in my life, there will be

time to enjoy the beauty of the world, to see how magnificent 

our God is, for he has made every beautiful thing.

Well we have made it through another week, may we

continue to keep healthy, and survive at some point there

will be a more normal life.  I'm not sure what the new normal will be

but I look forward to a time when we can all begin to heal from the 

effects of this virus, I think in someways we are all suffering.

Some of us are sick, some of us are dying, some of us have lost our jobs,

some of us are emotionally stressed.  It will be nice when we can

all begin to heal.

Take care my friends.
