We knew the announcement was coming from Premiere Ford.\u00a0 \u00a0We knew it wasn’t going to be good.\u00a0 (Been there.\u00a0 Done that).<\/p>\n
We have all had enough of the pandemic and enough of the lockdown.\u00a0 But to me, taking care of others is important.\u00a0 So I started thinking of sports.\u00a0 Which is odd, because I HATE sports.\u00a0 All things sports.\u00a0 (smile)<\/p>\n
The way I see it, in the world of sports, when a team is losing the game, they call a time out, huddle together and make a plan to win.\u00a0 \u00a0They come together.\u00a0 United.\u00a0 Strong.\u00a0 Determined. So, I’m thinking, like it or not, we have to find a way to do that.\u00a0 Come together strong like the community we are.<\/p>\n
The way I see it, we are all players in this game.\u00a0 And it’s the bottom of whatever, and now is when it counts.\u00a0 This is it.\u00a0 Crunch time.\u00a0 \u00a0Now is when we need to step up and shine, and prove that we are stronger together and we do care about each other.<\/p>\n
Even if we cut our own hair, and the roots are showing and our eyebrows are way out of control.\u00a0 (desperate times\/ desperate measures)<\/p>\n
Even if we can’t finish a stupid puzzle.\u00a0 (when did those pieces get so small and complex?)<\/p>\n
Even when some of us refer to the cast of tv shows as friends and family.\u00a0 Schitt’s Creek, New Amsterdam, Grey’s Anatomy – my peeps.<\/p>\n
Even when we sit and stare blankly out the window for hours at a time, because there’s just nothing else to talk about anymore and we’re forgetting how.<\/p>\n
Even if we’re not always smiling.<\/p>\n
I know.\u00a0 It’s a LOT.<\/p>\n
But the vaccines are coming and I really believe we’ll be out of this soon.<\/p>\n
And when we make it to the other side, I am having a huge 80’s themed 50th birthday bash in the fall and you are all invited.<\/p>\n
And we’ll celebrate making it through the darkness.<\/p>\n
Until then I challenge you to – let’s do our part.\u00a0 Let’s stay home unless going out for essentials.\u00a0 Let’s keep supporting those businesses that need us in any way we can.<\/p>\n
And most importantly –\u00a0 let’s be kind to each other.<\/p>\n
