These masks are so uncomfortable to wear, people can't hear each other talking clearly but it helps in the long run. Lets hope my friend, that we don't have to wear them for very much longer. A peaceful, loving and blessed Christmas to you and your family John. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the era of masks will be over soon and not return for a long time. Thank you for your friendly visit and lovely comment. May God bless your Christmas, dear Jenn. Keep writing and inspiring! Hugs ~ John

It is not necessary. I don't know if there is proof of it, but I feel maskers still get Covid as much as non-maskers do. Just my two cents. I think it's all about one's immunity levels and how healthy they are to begin with. Even getting Covid, they will survive like with any flu. I just don't understand why we keep masking kids when what we only need to really do is protect the really old and sick. I really like your poem!

There is a cost of separation from loved ones and the temporary loss of pursuing some of your dreams, but it is just temporary, but think of what the price is for those no longer with us~

Hear, hear. For most of us the cost is temporary and merely an inconvenience. For some, separation has been horrible. I can't image what some people have had to endure this year.

I am torn apart everyday, not living my life fully or fearlessly living knowing it might mean my flesh death. Thanks for the reminder.
