I think I now have an actual understanding of what they meant. Most days, my personal experience is "not so bad". Some days are awful and some days are great.
Very true point
@Seat0B. I'm sort of on the same understanding as you. That being said, I have been
very closely following what you (& those you dearly love) are going through and I can, hand to heart say, that it is not even minuscule-ly close to what is happening with me (or in my life).
I can only say that, fingers & toes crossed, the situation we are currently in improves ever so slightly, so that we can travel safe & do the things that we love.
My personal experience is also "not so bad", but, it could be, certainly, by a million times, BETTER!
I have always been of (& recently have arrived at) the conclusion that we can only think, say, do, pray so much, but ultimately things take their own time to change to our liking. I understand why things are being done the way they are done, not necessarily I agree with what is being done and the way it's being done.
In this climate, one can only hope, unfortunately!
Won't bore you all with another recitation of that, but I am certainly missing a lot of things I will never get back and I know it.
I can safely say that, you, and everything you are going through are always remembered.
