Almost 3 years ago already? How time passes – 3 years ago of which nearly 2/3 spent in this Pandemic. Wondering if this cafe is still open … never got to try any of these cakes on display! Thank you for bringing us there that day to gather, the bright eyed bushy tailed you:)

How I shall miss my righteous one staying true to his moral compass. Treating those with positive energy- that fire in their belly … is such joy. So indulgent… ahhh sigh …That positive vibe so missed. Now back to my oatmeal and bland simple breakfast- still – all good !

Gratitude for the fire in the belly this day, this week. Gratitude for the memories of smiles and laughter shared. Gratitude for any gathering… Gratitude for the hope and dreams we have for our future.

Chocolates cookies pies … still lost 10lbs – how’s that? Mix in a little uncertainties and Covid stress for the survival diet.

SF is not setting a low bar – far from it. Indoor dining will require proof of vaccination starting soon – finally a sign of sanity amidst the madness.

So it’s my third appointment with an acupuncture doctor. There’s a little rapport we could build, feeling that she’s not as soft and fuzzy as before- seems she’s hardened in her tone of voice and manners since our last meeting so I’m curious.

I ask “How are YOU doing?” Normally I suppose a patient is not the one to ask the doctor. But. Here’s the reply…she quips:

I consider myself LUCKY I haven’t LOST anyone yet !

It’s come to this. It’s like wartime stories we’ve learned in history books we prayed we’d never experience in our lifetime.

Almost a year and a half since the first shelter in place announced, we now consider ourselves lucky if anyone in our immediate family hasn’t lost his/her life in this battle against the pandemic.

We can overcome this predicament if we all do our part and do what’s most responsible. It serves no one when unwilling to read and hear and truly study the facts, some adamantly digging one’s heels, blindly advocating personal freedom and unjust big pharmaceutical’s profits etc. Those points – are just a distraction to the bigger problem and distracts from tending to the real and immediate threat to solve the huge public health challenge at hand. We need a United front against this public health menace and enemy that looms over us daily.
