Taking For Granted

Maybe we took for granted, not wearing masks while freely socializing Maybe we took for granted not worrying, what may happen next Maybe having the answers to reassure us, didn’t matter so much then Now, we feel the distance breathing down our necks And extra precautions become a daily task, more so than before As we wonder in these circles of motion, will it ever be the same? But, are we taking anything for granted now that will be missing later? Heidi Sands 7/19/20

Thought provoking Heidi, up until now we have taken so much for granted and many still do but are we going deeper into the abyss?. Tom

Yes..true Tom...much taken for granted. And truthfully , we are not headed in a good direction or trying enough positive things for a difference to be made. I question the same. I hope all is well. Take care, my friend. Thank you :)
