It’s April and my office door has a trick or treat sign on it.
I did it.
On purpose.
The country has been a little crazy this year and I decided to join in the fun.
Trick or treat seems fitting.
The choice is yours.
With scores of people sheltering in place, I am still going to work. My staff and I are not saving lives, just feeding them. Unless you consider home made cinnamon rolls life saving….
We are considered essential as hospital employees.
It is business as usual.
I refuse to fall into the gloom and doom aspect of it all. I will laugh when appropriate, do my job, be there for my staff and make life as normal as possible.
I will smile behind my mask, you’ll see it in my eyes.
The world may be a little upside down right now, but that doesn’t mean I have to be.
Sure every day life has changed some, but I haven’t.
I refuse to just exist or be afraid of every cough I hear. I will respect the situation, but will not live in fear.
Live life large and Love Big.
You can’t put life on hold and be happy.
There is no magic wand to wave over the world, but there is the magic in you.
Use it.
Use it to feel as normal as you can, helping others do the same.
Use it to keep fear and panic from taking over your life.
Use it to spread a little laughter during a not so joyful time.
I pray you remain healthy, calm, smiling and magical.
Trick or treat my friends.
I choose treat!
