“There’s been talk of reopening various markets soon, and I think it’s the right idea as long as it’s done slowly and safely.”

Needless to say, things will move slowly as long as we’re under lockdown. There’s been talk of reopening various markets soon, and I think it’s the right idea as long as it’s done slowly and safely. We still must practice social distancing, wash our hands often, and use common sense. I love this country, and if we all unite, we can get through this pandemic together. 

Now for my quote of the month:

“Never hang your head down, never give up, sit down or grieve. And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines.” - Leroy Satchel Paige
