a good day…

today I spent the day with my friend robin and we ended up in Charlotte and visited ikea…….. It was such a great day…but it was odd….why? COVID-19! we went through the entry line and thank god we got there early……we only spent maybe 20 minutes in line…….or so and then we were in…… we spent a god amount of time shopping and made our way out the door……. as we left….. we looked over at the snaking line that we were in earlier…..HOWEVER the line was MUCH SHORTER when we were in it…..and it wasn’t over 90 degrees out either!…I cannot imagine stranding there just to get into IKEA…..you must REALLY need to go into IKEA!….lord help us….anyway…it reminded me how much friends give to you…. not only do you get support…you get reminded that we ALL need others in our lives…… we are creatures of society….. we need each other whether we want to admit it or not! we have to surround ourselves with other people….and it was so interesting to watch people today in IKEA apologize for being in the way….. etc…… apologies that weren't always the norm in IKEA or in any store for that matter! It is so very interesting what this virus has done to some people. Some people have become angry conspiracy theorists who also don’t want to wear masks,…as they see it as a political statement….thanks to the OMK (Orange Marmalade King)….. or there are people who have realized the bigger picture…… people who have learned what all of this means…..treating people AS PEOPLE…..not as someone or something in front of you that you can treat like shit……SOME people have learned respect and “seeing others”….while some……are still wearing their blinders and being complete assholes! @
