Taking something bad and finding something good like Coronavirus
Gail Forbes
Owner at Safe Haven Placement Agency Placing Senior Citizens in Assisted Living and Board and Care Homes Free Service to all Seniors
In the past 3 weeks, I have been confined to home because of the Coronavirus. I live in Northern California, I started a company 2/1/20 and 1 month later the Coronavirus struck.
My job was to go into Nursing Homes and Hospitals on a daily basis. The worse places you can be.
This was something I never dreamed would happen as a single woman starting from scratch.
However, I always try and take something bad and try to find something good in it especially when we have no control over the situation.
Instead of focusing on how am I ever going to survive, as my business is at a standstill, I have seen some positive things that would have never happened. Families are forced to stay home, they have become closer because many never have time to spend with each other. We need strong families in our country that were starting to slip away. My streets are busy not with cars but with families taking walks, single people walking their dogs, people jogging, trying to stay healthy, Neighbors who never talked with each other now becoming friends.
This past week there was a car parade with all the teachers from the local school telling the children how much they missed them and the children with signs telling their teachers how they missed them, People looking out the elderly and helping them.
Those are all very positive things.
I am truly truly sorry for those who are infected with the virus, those who have lost their jobs I know these people don't even want to find something good and that is understandable and have prayed for those but try to find something good because it will help you get through this.
I would like to thank all the people who don't have a choice to stay home because they are all the healthcare force who are on the front lines sacrificing their life for ours. These people are incredible and we all thank you with all of our hearts.
No matter where you live there is a song called "I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN" you can find it on YouTube. Let's join together outside the front of you home on Monday 2/30/20 at 7:00 pm and play this song and sing along with it. It is not just one or two of us that this virus has struck but the entire world. Let's fight as an army of the entire world.
