It's sad seeing all the sick people and it's really sad when family can't get in to see them. It's hard to stay positive. Maybe I need to go get a big bucket of sand to stick my head in.
I found that getting vaccinated made a pretty big difference. I did what i could for the community, the family, and myself. It's like ...okay ... i've done the best i can and it's time to get on with my life. If it comes then it comes but it probably won't kill me. About 95 % of the eligible people in my area chose to get vaxxed. We're getting a few breakthrough cases here and there but it's more like a far away thing that you hear about on the news.
The main thing where people get stuck in a negative mindset is that they get hung up on what they other guy is doing. They crank, and fuss, and whine, and moan because the other guy didn't get vaxxed or chooses not to wear a mask. They're so judgemental. That judgementalism makes them crazy because other people and the world around them will never conform to the way they think it ought to be.
Anyhow ... life is a dangerous place to be. You'll never get out alive so you might as well enjoy the ride and make the most of every day. There's just no way of knowing. Today may be your last.
That's what i try to remind myself of when i'm having a bad day. I ask myself .... is this how i would like to spend my last day on earth ? That tends to put a lot of things into perspective.
What the other guy does is his business. You makes yer choices and you takes yer chances. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose depending upon if you made a good decision. It's just the way of things.
