Changing times call for changes, and yet, persistence, continuation, determination, and with it all, more than an element of joy. In spite of a few setbacks with the virus which crept into our vocabulary and mindset, each day we can find a way to do just a little better than the previous day.
Here are some panels in the construction of recovery and an adamant attitude that we must not reflect a sense of fatigue with conditions:
• We see that both the East Aurora School District 131 and the West Aurora School District 129 not only have continued their student food distribution, they have increased their supply to students who qualify for subsidized food. It more than continues during the school shutdown, which started March 17 and will continue for at least a few more weeks because of the effort to stop the spreading of COVID-19 (Coronavirus). There are dedicated programs to allowing the enrichment of society and at the same time offering encouragement and challenges. This situation of the spreading virus will pass. Those who stand up to the challenge will be stronger for it. East and West have increased quantities of food and food pick-up locations. Kudos to those individuals who help make the distribution system run more smoothly. There were many thousands of meals provided in a week.
• The Voluntary Action Center (VAC) Meals on Wheels west of the Fox Valley performs valuable services. The organization delivers meals in DeKalb and LaSalle Counties to homes.
• In this situation of being housebound, the need increases, not decreases, and many volunteers carry heavy loads to assist their fellow passengers through life. There exists a passion to be helpful.
• Capitol News Illinois reports that the COVID-19 will continue to place stress on our State’s health care facilities. Personnel problems and revenue problems are at risk, however, the situation is greater than politics, greater than making money, and greater than advancing lifestyle. It is about survival, neighbor, and being ready to help.
• Those who are reluctant to adapt make it difficult for many other individuals on the course of doing the right things. The key for many is understanding, or a lack of understanding, that requires a redirection.
It may be interesting to find out how families solve the dilemma of changing habits and lifestyles. We can adapt. Avoiding cabin fever takes planning, effort, and understanding.
We must remember to wash our hands with soap vigorously, cover up a cough and cover up a sneeze in the arm, not in the hands.
Clear and concise, week 12:
• Spring repeat here. Partner is not a verb, although the tendency among too many individuals is to inadvertently try to make it a verb.
• Adverbs suffer from being in short supply. Often adding ly to a verb is correct, even though often over looked. Adverb if it is how and why.
