Once again this is not the post I intended.. . I believe in being responsible, I believe in thinking of others,I believe in doing for others and I believe in science. It's for those reasons that I came to Austin on March 15th to self quarantine. I've stayed in Austin, I've followed all the rules and I continue to follow the rules because it's the right thing to do. . The governor of Texas has started to implement back to work plans and many things are opening (with restrictions), so my husband and I went out to dinner for my birthday. . It was an absolutely surreal experience. The "outside world" looked like a scene from an apocalyptic movie. There were maybe 10 cars on the road, the parking lots were all empty and we were the only eat in patrons at the restaurant. . It was very sad to see first hand how many places would likely never reopen and how many lives this virus will continue to ruin. . So today's post is about livelyhood and safety. . Businesses want to keep us safe. We're their lifeblood. They know they don't exist without us. . We need to ask ourselves what will make us feel safe going back out. Because if we don't there won't be an "outside world" to go to. Not as we know it in any case. This virus will have claimed the livelyhood of millions along with the hundreds of thousands of lives it continues to take. It's not about the economy for me. It's about identity, self worth and mental health. For many a job that puts food on the table or a carrer or bussiness they've spent a lifetime building is the essence of who they are. They're lost without it. . I go out with my mask, I carry gloves and hand sanitizer, I do social distancing I make sure the places I'm going are commited to providing a safe and healthy environment. . I'm going out because for me it's the right thing to do. . I know I've kicked a hornet's nest with this post, but I really want to know your feelings. . What will or when will you feel safe going back out? . PS. Dinner out was Amazing! . . #staysafe #supportlocalbussinesses #supporteachother #thankyouessentialserviceworkers #fabulousinmy50s #agelessmodel #bestagermodel #bettertogether #overfifty (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5QVyLAswr/?igshid=y14qx3zx1wtm
