New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on.

First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.  

People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.  

Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need.

It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight.

People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways humankind steps up and takes the high road.  And pretty unequal to any task are those who in the name of God have lost all sense of what real humanity is.  It's utterly discouraging and absurdly ridiculous to try and make sense of.... a losing battle.  I digress though, I'd rather focus on the high road.  It's the only thing getting many of us through.

Lake McDonald, Montana

Have I ever talked about my thing for rocks?  Have had it since I was a little girl.... loved to collect rocks and go to rock shops.  I even have a few sitting next to my bed (nothing bigger than what fits in the palm of your hand) right now that've caught my fancy the last year or so... or that someone's given me.  Like the small white one Ally gave to me from our trip to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, at the Quileute Indian Reservation beach (okay, yeah... so it was really to see 'Twilight' country, but we saw some pretty amazing scenery as well)... and then a black rock Rob found on our trip to the Oregon Coast last year. Anyway... there's this lake in Montana ... Lake McDonald ... obviously from the subject heading... and it's got shores of brightly-colored rocks.  So guess what got added to the bucket list as soon as I saw the photos?  Yep... I will go there... for the rocks.... just to see the pretty colors.
