Re: Two things I observed today, what about you, what have you observed lately?

1. The COVID virus has changed my life forever.

 

2. I received my absentee ballot for my state's primary this morning.

I agree with @jubilant  It has to stop.  There was a taxi that went out of control in NYC a week or two ago. People were pinned under the vehicle. Good Samaritans all got together and lifted the taxi.  Black, white, Asian stood side by side and worked together and saved lives. No one could know if the person next to them was gay, heterosexual, Christian, Muslim or Jewish. It didn’t matter in that moment. All of them of them had one mindset. They didn’t have time to focus on difference. They had to work together to get the job done.

 

We should learn from this powerful moment. It doesn’t matter if someone looks different, sounds different, or worships different. It’s about respect.

On a lighter note:  I've observed that, where there are one or two groundhogs, there will be more.

 

(Having had to relocate for the past two years, groundhogs who thought it was a good idea to make their homes under my front steps and my garage.  Not to worry, I only use a Hav-A-Heart trap and take them to a wildlife preserve.)

1. It is very cool today for what, the 2nd day of summer! It is 65°.

 

 

2. Our new TV delivery was 9am-Noon. I am guessing now that it is 9:50am! Looks like we will be their last delivery.

Things will never be the same and how I wish it would be.

 

I better learn to live with the above idea.

While your top one is true for everyone. The sooner in life one learns your other observance, the better it will likely be for them.

@QVCkitty1 I get nervous in some situations myself.  And sometimes when I am talking to someone, the words don't come out smoothly and I think I sound like an idiot.  Some people are so polished.  I am not one of them.

@Puppy Lips   The people you are speaking with that seemed so polished may be thinking the same thing about themselves, you just never know.
