It looks like the Coronavirus variants are making a comeback. Today at work I got a company-wide email about the spread and what’s going on with it. I hate to see people getting sick again or for the first time.
I hope that it won’t mean a return to full-time mask-wearing but I fear it will. Let’s hope the numbers will go back down. There is too much going on in the world and we can only take so much.
I decided to log off Twitter for a while. Lots of doom scrolling going on there it is not good for me or anyone. It’s a platform that seems to be getting full of negative stuff. Of course, I will miss the breaking news there, but you know there are other ways of finding out about what’s going on in the world.
Thanks to 80’s movies I can see the type of parties I didn’t get to go to as a teenager. Sixteen Candles is an iconic movie of the era that proves we from back in that day sure knew how to throw a rager.
I turned sixteen the year after this movie was released.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas.
To all celebrating today may this always be a day of remembering and reflection on the freedom to live life and full of opportunities to make the world a better place.
