Tonight's Poet Corner: Introspection

Forty-five days since Joe Biden became President Elect and Kamala Harris became Vice President Elect.

Fifteen days of break from work.

Two weeks before the new year.

One week before Christmas.

Five days since we moved into our new house.

Five days before we have to get everything out of our old condo.

One night since Hanukkah ended.

A mere handful of hours since the stay at home order in my area was issued.

Over 45,000 people diagnosed with COVID-19 in my state yesterday alone.

Please be safe.

Please be hopeful.

Please show love and patience.

Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.
