"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.

When your time comes to die,

be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death,

so that when their time comes they weep and pray

for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home."

- Tecumseh, Shawnee

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important
than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes. "

- Charles Swindoll

Just a couple of things to keep in mind during these difficult times. As long as the Missus and I stay home we should be OK. I did go out on Friday to pick up a few things at the grocery and to get my argon bottle. However, there have now been five reported cases in our county, so it's here. The bar/restaurant by our house is open for carry-outs but if this stay at home rule stays in effect for much longer, that'll be it for him. He just bought the business last year and I wouldn't think he has much in the way of a cash cushion built up.

I've been out on my bicycle the last few days for a short ride and the car traffic on the side roads seems to be lighter than usual but the state highway seemed to be pretty busy yesterday. People are going to have to take this seriously if it's going to get under control. I've been putting my mail in a plastic bag every day and then letting it sit for 24 hours, and then washing my hands. While I was out Friday I made sure I used my hand sanitizer between stops and stripped down right away when I got home. The clothes went into the washer and I jumped in the shower. I don't see me mixing with anyone for at least another two weeks now. 

Stay safe. BTW, the quotes above are from here - lots of good stuff there.
