Many healthcare professionals are kind and caring, but some of them are bullies; Deranged and sinister people. Being a healthcare professional gives these bullies the freedom to be a dominating force. They are licensed tormenters doing their deeds undercover. Dear God I plead for mercy for the sick and disabled.

I am fed-up of covid19. Everybody have a story about it and they believe it is true so they share, but I am listening to the up-dates by the New York City Governor and Mayor. This evil monster has turned our life around drastically. You are seeing the true sides of humans and yes, it is a good thing but I am tired of it. It has me feeling freedom-less. I cannot do the things I really feel like doing. One of them is shopping. There are so many things I want from the places I shop, but every freaking package is being opened, by someone who is looking for their mother so-an’-so. They did not take anything out of my packages so-far, but I feel violated. I believe they are looking for specific items and the things I bought before they did not want. I believe they will take the things on my new list so I have to wait for life to get back to normal. Dear God, Mercy.

A wonderful, safe and sanitary day to you and your family. Many people are dying and many people are playing doctor or scientist. The man must be mad. He was seriously asking the doctors if people could drink or inject Lysol or bleach to heal them from Covid19. Madness. To save face he said he was being sarcastic. If that man tells you to walk, RUN!

Attitudes towards us did not change so remember my brothers and sisters, we have to be vigilant about our safety and protection from the virus. Be strict about the rules. Not because they are opening beaches, people walking around in groups and no face mask on means the virus is dormant. The unseen, creepy, invisible, disastrous, creature is around so keep following the rules. We are the last on the totem pole to get any kind of help so stay in your lane, and follow the rules. Have a nice, safe and germ-free day.

The weather is bad. It is raining heavily with thunder and lightning going on. Enjoy your day. Be safe and hygienic. Can you imagine life without healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers? We will be ruined and life will be no more. Thanks be to God for all healthcare workers, first responders and essential workers. I pray that you all get strength and courage to face the days ahead.

He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. Daniel 2:22. We are all going to see the errors of our ways. Alone time, family time is going to bring out the true you. To be safe we have to coexist with our loved ones so, be kind and loving. Don’t be a brute-beast. You are not going to feel good after you traumatize someone. Think about the way you would feel if you were traumatized. Take a sip of water before the brute-beast in you shows up. 2Peter 2:12. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Harold, Paul, Sarah and I are used to being home together. Before the virus they used to be in their bedroom spending time with their phones, lap tops etcetera, but ever so often they would come and talk to us, get a snack or a meal. Since social distancing is in effect, they stay in their bedrooms. Harold and I hardly see them. Yesterday I decided to time our spending moments with them. Paul came and spoke to us twice. The first conversation lasted 3 minutes and the second 5 minutes. Sarah came once and she talked for 6 minutes then took food and head back to her bedroom. They are following the rules. Social distancing is happening at my home, but I want this virus to go away. I want normalcy.
Have a nice, safe and hygienic day. Dear God I am watching and listening at the tear-jerking situations that are happening. Why is man still behaving arrogant and selfish? Many people are being abused and they must be feeling scared and defenseless. Sarah said that she was reading an article about it. Paul said that some people feel that they should be in control and this situation makes them feel weak. “People have to ignore fear and fight back. I know that I am not going down without a fight,” I said. Harold said, “When you are in doubt, use your mouth. When you ent bite, you didn’t fight.”

Paul and Sarah keep saying that I always have a conspiracy theory in my head. Maybe it’s the writer in me. My conspiracy theory for Covid19 is that some people were hoping that we are the only people who would be infected and die. All the bad things you wish for others will came back to you. God is in charge.
Carelessness is going to be the death of many people. Some of the leaders have no regards for life. They have decided that people should die so they are not implementing social distancing. People need to start loving themselves and do the right thing to keep you safe. I listen to Governor Cuomo, Mayor DeBlasio and the WHO. I try my best to follow their recommendations. I value my life and the life of others. It is upsetting to see how some people are blasé about the seriousness and the deathtraps of Covid19 virus. In New York City we are practicing social distancing but there are states in the US that are not doing it. As my father used to say, ‘Each man to his own accord’. Please stay in your state.

Some people are provoking. You would tell them you do not like something and you ask them to stop doing it, but they would do it. This is how I handle people like that. I try my best to avoid them. If we come in contact with each other and they do the thing I do not like, I smile although I am upset. The smile is to stop me from giving the damn fool the unfavorable reaction he or she wants to start shit.
Have a wonderful, safe and hygienic day. I am continuing my Bible reading and I am going to share some of the enlightening and spirit filled moments. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9. Hagar, Sarah’s slave was the first surrogate mother. Genesis 16:2. Sarah said to Abram, “The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said.

SIP SOME WATER. It will calm your spirit. If you are spending your every waking moment with someone, you are going to see the true colors of that person. There are going to be moments you want to be alone. Your space might be limited, but find a spot. Even if it is in the kitchen, bathroom etc., Have a moment of reflection. If you know that you are easily aggravated, keep a glass or a bottle of water and take a sip before speaking. It will calm your spirit. Give your children the freedom to talk. Somethings might shock you but calmly listen to keep the parent child trusting moment intact. The only time you get into the conversation is; when they ask you your opinion or they stopped talking. SIP SOME WATER and CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY.

A happy, safe germ-free day to you and your family. People copycat how they were nurtured and they pass it on to others. The man is egotistical, narcissistic, self-centered, bigheaded and arrogant. The way he speaks to women, tells me that he was a disrespectful child to his mother. He suffered mental abuse from the male caregivers in his life.

Every one of us will see the true character of the people we know. Good or bad let it not cloud your judgement. We are living in dire times. In my opinion I think if we are going to survive this, we have to listen, be watchful, be hygienic, kind and honest. Uncleanliness, deceitfulness, selfishness, and wickedness will not help us. Enjoy your day and be safe.

Social distancing reminds me of some past experiences. To me, we are getting back to the simple way of life although it is more sophisticated today. I grew up in Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago. My summer holidays were spent in Tableland, Trinidad and Tobago. Point Fortin was a busy little town with lots of people and all the conveniences. Paved roads with a side walk, electricity, water, groceries, street lights, stores, churches, cemeteries, post office, a mailman, police station, fire station, schools, hospital, clinics, community centers, bar (rum shop), play grounds, oil refinery, and we even had a cinema and a drive-in. Tableland was not that populated. It was serene and the homes were far apart. Tall trees and bushes separated the homes. Nightfall came early in the evening. The place got pitch black because there were no street lights and the tall trees blocked the moon. There was no electricity and my grandmother used to light two lamps filled with pitch oil. One was placed on the dining table and the other in the kitchen. The fire in the lamps used to create flickering shadows on the walls. Everybody talked softly. It felt as though a louder tone would disturb the serenity. Tableland had paved and gravel roads, no side walk, a church, graveyard, school, post office but no mailman, a police station, fire station, no hospital, a clinic, a lodge (recreation hall), playground, no water system, drums used to be filled with rain water for use. There was a small shop where foodstuffs and other items were sold. My grandmother made a list of the items she needed and it was taken to the shop owner. He would put all the items she wanted in a cardboard box for pick-up. Today this virus made us step back into the old days. Order you items then pick-up or have it shipped. Ecclesiastes 1:9. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Amen.

Easter time is my favorite time of the year. Every day is a better day for me. I do not believe in God, I know God. I know what he has done for me and I thank him. “When you believe, you accept what you hear is the truth. There is always a bit of doubt that plays on your mind. You know what you have been through and you got over it. In your moment of deliverance, you know that it was God who helped you. So, you know God. You no longer doubt that he exists.

Another day another story and we are living it. Thanks be to God for that. A Happy Good Friday to you and your family. There are many theories about Covid19 and if you listen to all of them you can become confused and depressed. I have decided to listen to two people and they are; Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio of New York City. They both give detail accounts about the virus and what we need to do. I am doing my best to follow the guidelines.

On a very deep heartfelt personal note. Many people died in my family and it hurt. But the most heartbreaking moment for me was when my father died. The grief was tremendous for many months. After my father died the loss of family and friends was heartbreaking but a bit bearable, then my nephew Stuart passed away. For weeks the tears kept coming. I thought I wasn’t going to stop crying but one night while I was asleep, I heard a whisper, ‘He is not alone’. I woke up and it hit me that Stuart was not alone. His grandparents, Uncle Reynold and many other relatives and friends were there. And in that moment of realization, I no longer felt inconsolable. Many people lost loved ones and it is heartbreaking. Please remember those relative and friends who went before them will be waiting to receive them. They are not going to be alone. I pray for you to get strength and courage to face the days ahead.

Life has changed and it feels eerie to me. This morning Harold went out. He saw two packages for our neighbors and another with a different address, neatly cut open. I am expecting two packages but I am not getting no sleepless night over it. My only worry is that the perpetrator knows my address. Everything is under new management but God is in charge. Yesterday Sarah got a call from Kingsborough Community College to let her know that Graduation is cancelled. What can I say; “Life goes on.” Have a nice, safe and germ-free day.

Thanks be to God we are seeing another day. Amen and Amen to that. I pray, Ps. 19: 12-14. “But who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer. Amen.

Living today is becoming frightening. I have been living in my neighborhood for more than 15 years and I never had a problem. Yesterday Paul went to get the mail. There was a package for us and it was opened. The person did not take anything. I believe that the items were not of value to them. I thank God for that because they are important to me and my family.
I really don’t know what to say about this. A lion in the Bronx Zoo, NY was tested for Covid-19 and the test was positive. The news said that the lion got it from its handler. I wonder how close the handler gets to the lion for this to happen? Dear God what’s next? Man, and his words and deeds. Deliver us from all that is evil.

When Sarah was very young during our family prayer time, she prayed saying thanks for everything she had. She even said thanks for her pencil and drawing paper. That moment reminded me how much we take for granted. One day last month I fell down and I got up by myself. I did not hurt myself but I cried because Harold and Paul used to always have to pick me up when I fall. As I got up and sat on a chair, I felt so grateful that my arms and legs were able to support each other. My limbs helped me get up off the floor and able to sit on a chair. Do not take anything for granted. Life and everything we have is gift. Thanks be to God for mercy. We are seeing another day. Amen and Amen to that.

Intuition, Instinct, Perception, Insight, Awareness, Sensitivity, comes to us quickly with the understanding that we should follow it. When we don’t follow it, something goes wrong. As the old Trinbago folks used to say, “Follow yuh mind. If it tell yuh to do it, Do it. If it tell yuh doh do it, Doh do it. It doh lead yuh wrong at all.” In these trying times be on your guard. Have a safe and hygienic day.

It is a sad, worrisome and frightening time for us. It is heartbreaking that we will know someone who is affected by the virus. I pray for us to get strength and courage to face whatever comes our way. Our leaders are giving us their opinion and the opinion of others. So many different opinions on what we should do. I take to heart the safety guidelines. My family and I follow them. All the negative scary things they say about what they believe would happen, I let it all go to God. He is in charge and he knows what is intended for us. Follow the rules. Have a safe and hygienic day.

Some people are still taking the Coronavirus lightly but it is not a joke. We should not take it for granted. It is ready to pounce on those who are in its path. To me it is a sinister entity that is lurking around. My family and I are trying our best to follow the rules. I hope you and yours are doing the same. Have a nice day and be safe.
