We know that COVID-19 is hitting some racial/ethnic communities harder than others. Is this something you think about? If so, share some of your thoughts.
I came down with Covid on Monday. I am the first one in my house to get it and so far my husband and kiddo have both stayed healthy, in large part because we have a 3rd floor with a guest room that I have quarantined in and an extra bathroom that I can use exclusively. My husband and I are both fully vaccinated and our kiddo is only 4.5 so not yet old enough for the vaccine. I have thought a lot about the people who don't have space to isolate and who don't have friends to bring them all food and check in on them. We've made it this far. And although it hasn't been great being sick and in isolation, it hasn't been terrible. And I can easily be in isolation. So many people, especially those in minority communities don't have this option. I also have a full acre of land to get out on when I feel better and I back up to 70 acres of farm land, so I can safely get some fresh air too! My husband and kiddo are bonding. I am learning to let go and listen to my body. I am grateful for the support I have and the resources at my finger tips. I am lucky. So very lucky.

Describe an experience this week that made you happy.
It made me very happy that Joe Biden won the presidency. Previously I had never been a fan of his, but I do feel that his prior experience, personal style, and caring demeanor will go far to hep us heal the ravages of Trump. I just am very upset by the many who did votes for him. What can they possibly see in him? I can’t fathom how one could condone his selfishness, willful deceit and constant lying. I feel that he is not stable mentally and is now potentially dangerous in his last two months. Let’s hope that our checks and balances can prevent a war declaration or something wicked. His rhetoric has been vindictive and so unwise in so many decisions over the last four years. Even his face registers hate and contempt for the foundations of our country and the workings of government. He makes a mockery of democracy. It’s such a shame that the transfer of power could not be peaceful and graceful as it has been even in cases of bitter rivalry. Trump is no gentleman and no man of honor. His legacy will be a sad one because of his own bungling. Biden’s inauguration can’t come soon enough.
