The way I see it, a lot of us have slipped into a state of denial. It seems that we are all thinking that because we wear our masks and socially distance we will be okay. Many of us don’t see ourselves becoming a part of the pandemic death statistics. But, as the numbers keep climbing, the probability of your getting COVID increases. Will you be one of the ones who gets it and survives? Or will you be one of the ones who gets it and succumbs? That’s a question all of us need to seriously give some attention to.

I don’t want to die. It’s hard for me to even consider that as an outcome of the situation. But, it could happen. I have to face the fact that everybody else has to face. We are all vulnerable. None of us knows who will or won’t be with us to celebrate the end of this pandemic.

The way I see it, we should live each day as if it’s our last. Reach out to those who you haven’t seen in a while. Settle old disagreements. Kiss and hug those loved ones that you’re able to. Get your affairs in order, just in case.
