Make a difference.
I took this selfie yesterday because I had just cut up an old t-shirt and decided it could be a mask.

I've long been a recycler of old and oft discarded materials. Too me there is purpose after purpose for everything with the right frame of mind.

In this day and age we are faced with a really tough thing.... and there are so many thoughts floating around out there. It is hard to know which ones have validity or what direction to go personally.

To me, wearing a mask tells others that I care about them.

There is an incubation period for COVID-19. Even if tested today, we could be exposed to and therefore carry the virus seconds after being tested.

I've decided, personally, I do not want to be someone who carries this virus to another. If I am unfortunate enough to get it, let the virus living within me, die in me, not go to another.

Today, as I was searching for a feature picture of the day I drove down into Oil City. I feel like I need to do an Oil City story. I really feel, in the last month, I haven't been in the city enough. Having spent nearly every day over the last five years there, and then suddenly not, I felt almost like a stranger. I was sad actually. I just love the town, but am not there enough anymore.
Make a difference.
But I walked around wearing a mask thinking how much we have changed in the last month or so. People's eyes look different, we all react different toward one another..... but we are not spreading the virus....fingers crossed.
Make a difference.
So there are a ton of folks making masks out there and I am thrilled about this. I see too many people not wearing masks and I wonder why they think their ego is more important than my health. Especially when it doesn't have to cost anything to make a make-shift mask that does work. We all have a ton of old t-shirts in our drawers and rag bags.
Make a difference.
I decided that purging more old t-shirts and clothes can increase the number of potential masks I have. I hope folks realize that I'm not doing this because of some highfalutin ideal, rather to show those around me I care about them. And I do. I really don't want to be the one who transfers a virus to you.
Make a difference.
Be safe!
