In The End Its Your Choice

Listen to "In The End Its Your Choice" on Spreaker. So they laid out the three rules that must be achieved before we can truly move toward reopening the state and the rest of America. The first is going to be the biggest hurdle. There can be no rise in the Coronavirus numbers in your region for fourteen days. Two more weeks added to the already lived and experienced five. On this podcast we take that on. Not as a middle aged man whose tires will probably be flattened and his strawberry fields raided. But to be physically present with the requirements and the first one already shouts out failure. Nobody is being held accountable for playing basketball in the school parking lots. I don't care how many golf carts there are on the perfectly paved trails people are still gathering at the tee. The pharmacist at CVS looked at me with a tear in her eye yesterday trying to explain how much it scared her that people have made the choice to use their store as a place to share conversation. They're in separate lanes but it's still being played. When does accountability begin? I've been inspired by the protesters trying to convince their local governments to reopen their states. I love it when people exercise their voice. What I'm not seeing in those places of protest are grown men with golf clubs and basketballs. I was introduced to a new term this morning Quaran-Teaming. People leaving their homes to be with each other. If it truly is to fully live in quarantine I'm all for it. But if its for dinner, video games and or a book club then back home. You might as well be running the Monopoly game bank stealing 500 dollar bills. This isn't prohibition where people gathered to pour some powerful juice into their systems of choice. This is a moment where its time to put on the big boy and girl pants and stop thinking you're invincible. I wish the leaders and news worlds would start painting the picture of life in America 1942. The long lines for jobs and food. Oh that won't happen to us right? Did you see the line of 6,000 in Texas? Accountability. Look it up on dictionary.com and practice it before fate catches up. Oh wait. This daily section is supposed to be motivational and always inviting to the creative mind and spirit. Dang it! Give me a second. Umm. Ok here goes. During the Depression my mother was forced to live away from her family and home nearly three years not because they couldn't afford to have her but she did all she could to make sure her family didn't lose their farm in Wyoming. Moral of the story? What are you willing to sacrifice in an age when Small Business loans burned up billions of dollars in the blink of an eye? Still not motivated? Dang it! Lets talk in 6 months when we're still closed.
