As we think about our world forever changed for the near future, the idea of balance seems even harder to come by than usual. There is a tendency to trust that those in charge are taking care of things and all we need to do is take everything one step at a time. On the other hand, it seems like now may be the time for action. Perhaps we need to make some bold moves in order to be better positioned for what lies ahead.The campground is open. It is open now because being outdoors and staying in your camper is one way to practice social distancing and avoid the crowds, We are open because some RVer's need to drive home to be with family and others will need places to stay as they travel to do important work. The weather is cooperating so far. It is a beautiful spring and the kids home from school and daycare can spend much of their time outside.
Since we are in a small town, the national news is not reporting what is going on here. People travel through all the time on their way to more important destinations. That means like it or not we are at some point going to be exposed. We are lucky indeed to have a local hospital that is still open, a newspaper that is in print twice a week and a Chamber of Commerce that is in touch with small business. Not everyone here gets their news in the same way and so we have reached other to others to make sure we are keeping up to date.
Like you we wonder what bills to pay and whether we or those we love will become ill. We are glad to have community and thankful that we can be port in the storm for people that find themselves on the road. Many of our proprieties are changing as we decide what work needs to be accomplished and how best to enjoy certain aspects of this new normal. It comes down to balance, and having faith and making good decisions. We can do this people and we are all in this together.
