Quarantine

"Many of life’s failures are people who had not realized how close they were to success when they gave up."

Thomas A Edison 

For the most part the marshal law that we have been living under is over.

Call it what you want, this fiasco that we have been subject to has been lifted and most people are getting back to some sort of normalcy.

The damage has been done. There is not much anyone can do about it other than to dust our selves off and move on.

I am not going to debate the so called merits of the last 14 months.

I will say, in my estimation, the restrictions and protocols were way overblown and did more damage than good.

The so called preventative did more harm than the actual problem.

So here we are.

The plain truth of the matter is, my life isn't all that much different today than it was before the shutdown.

I get up.

I go to work.

I come home.

I eat dinner.

I watch some tv.

I go to bed and then start the whole process again tomorrow.

The quarantine certainly didn't have any effect on my so called social life.

I don't have one now and I really didn't have one before all of this nonsense.

No one close to me died.

Of my close friends and family, very few even got sick.

A few got pretty darn sick.

They lived.

The greatest hardship was job losses, an unfortunate result of the oppressive strangle hold we had to endure.

Besides that, life today is pretty much what it was a year and a half ago.

There were lessons learned.

God help us if anyone ever tries shutting life down again.

That was a huge blunder.

Remember 2 weeks to flatten the curve?

Someone screwed the pooch on that!

It's time to turn our backs on this unfortunate time.

Move on.

Don't look back.

Be smarter when the next so called crisis occurs.

And always be the best me I can be.
