Wise words from a sage woman …. Have a wonderful Sunday!

My reflection for the day from my favorite poet, Mary Oliver. I read it slowly out loud - it never fails to deeply touch my heart. Wishing you a blessed day.

Praying

It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones;

just pay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate,

this isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice can speak.”

Mary Oliver, from Thirst

Don’t forget your pet this holiday season. Decorations, certain plants, absences and strangers could be stressful. They help us when we are pulling out our hair, day in day out, no weekends or holidays, so let’s keep them healthy and pleased! 🐈‍⬛🎄🕎🙏🥂🦮🐾

Do not forget your impact - local business, those in need, those who cannot advocate for themselves. Your libraries, your art centers and your fire and EMT departments. Share the ❤️

And that it is..... ❤️

Here is a weekend read on the most burning topic in the mind of many. It is somewhat far fetched that it has to be explained like this, but since the rumors and myths about the vaccines abound then why not, let’s give it a read and follow the facts. Please stay informed and protect your health. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/17/technology/no-there-are-no-microchips-in-coronavirus-vaccines.html

Pfizer’s vaccine has 10 ingredients. None can track your location.

This is a great podcast for all things 2020 - most importantly, reliable, science based information on the developing issues like vaccine, the disease itself, safe ways to conduct your life without harming your and your community’s health, and mental health issues. They even produced a separate episode to debunk every hoax and conspiracy theory out there that prevents folks from protecting themselves and their families from the disease. Please give a listen and share - hint - it is a good companion on winter walks/runs 🎄❄️ Stay safe and healthy for the holidays!

Since there have been statements made on the federal side as to not being able and not trying to control the pandemic, instead trying for some future pharmaceutical measures, which may be months if not years away, let us examine what works to slow the infection rate and protect ourselves. My 2 c - if you work on your health and observe common sense precautions, it is entirely possible to lead a productive life - but it is up to us to press for these measures to be observed, implemented and maintained for the benefit of our communities. Please take a look at this brief analysis. https://mediahub.ku.edu/media/Masks/1_49bb9aid?campaign_id=154&emc=edit_cb_20201026&instance_id=23509&nl=coronavirus-briefing®i_id=58916602&segment_id=42355&te=1&user_id=250d00ea7267f01a0af48d66fea4e91aAnd
