Mashiara's blog: "2020 the unknown"

Well I feel like I’m sleeping my life away. But what more do I have to do. Stare at 1 of 4 walls. This disease has taken almost everything from me. But it will not take my family from me and it won’t take my life. I will beat it. During this time I do sit and reflect and think of so many things. But the one thing I don’t seem to understand. In a time when we have extra time on our hands and we sit and say we are bored or there is nothing to do, why don’t we do more. We always want more so why don’t we do more. Things we could do more of, love more, be kind, respect more, give thanks more, pray more, check on family more, be a friend more. There are many things we can do. It doesn’t take much to send a text and just see how someone is doing. I’m laying here and I’m looking at all the different people who walk into my room and I think how lucky am I that they have made the sacrifice they have. Our nurses, and doctors and patients care and radiologists, and pharmacist, housekeeping and all these people who are taking care of me and many many more people who have fallen sick to the corona virus. They sacrifice their health daily. And their families do the same. I am so grateful to have them. And I’m lucky to have the ones who do a little extra just to make sure I feel ok. They spend a little extra time to see how I am doing. These people could use more prayer and love. They walk away from their families everyday knowing they will be surrounded by people with the corona virus. And they still do it. That’s a true sacrifice people. They are showing what love is. Love for strangers. It brings a smile to my heart and lets me know there is still so much good out there even during this pandemic.
