A few months ago I started asking questions on Facebook twice a week. Some are silly, some are soul searching, and some stimulate memories. It has been rewarding in various ways and certainly has connected me with people who are both like-minded or polar opposite. Each question has between 100 - 200 comments. I believe this is what Facebook was originally intended to be - a place to connect with both old and new-found friends. Stop by....if you haven't already. Answer some questions or let me know what you would like me to ask the group.
Everybody enjoying the crazy social-distancing line-ups at stores? I try to schedule my time to do any shopping or banking when the wait times are the shortest.
Last week I needed to make a bank deposit - with cash. The bank was closed so there wasn't any lineup. This would have been great except for this flashing NOTICE on the bank machine.
We are not accepting cash deposits at this time
Can you think of any other time in the history of our modern world when the number one thought on everyone's mind was the same? The only time I can think of is Christmas and that only lasts for a day or two.
The conversations I hear in the grocery store, on the internet, or on the street when taking a walk all have the same core -- the "V" word. Most of them are not positive comments but riddled with fear, anxiety, and judgment. I am not sharing anything you don't already know so I won't dwell on it but one thing I have noticed that seems to be exploding is RUDENESS. This shocked me. At a time when the human race should be pulling together in kindness, it seems to be the opposite.
