Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.

Saw a few of these along the trail and definitely fit the times. Only one in a position to photograph and it was raining lightly.
Enjoy life today because yesterday is gone and tomorrow is never promised, it is good to be back.
As I often say, laugh every day, live every moment.
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the comments and banter you leave are so appreciated.
Have a lovely weekend out there in Flickrland 🍺🍺🍺🍷🍷🍷😂😎
As you know from recent reportage, Hoof and Horace have built themselves a new workshop in the field. Horace decided to try out some of his old creative skills and thought it would be appropriate to make this in recognition of everything that is being carried out by so many people who are looking after us all and keeping this country going through these abnormal times.
At the bottom of The Cornish Coat Of Arms are the words “One And All” how appropriate as we are all in this together.
So Horace hopes there will be another huge and worthy round of applause throughout the country this evening at 20:00.
We can do it 👏👏👏👏👏

Let's put things in "Perspective"
We probably all think that it’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria.
For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900. Many would think that that was a pretty simple time of life. Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.
Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.
When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try to catch your breath. If you lived in London England or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighbourhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Thousands of Canadian young men joined the army to defend liberty with their lives. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.
At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict.
On your 62nd birthday there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.
Now, in 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is!
Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? When you were a kid in 1965 and didn’t think your 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very very enlightening.
So let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.

Finally something practical and honest from the Head of the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Maryland, USA: re.Covid19.
1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.
2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you Wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.
8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens (just keeping your physical protection distance, through parks.
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years - drop infections don't spread like that!
14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.
Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immunity boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
Live life sensibly and to the fullest. Be smart and stay informed!

Common sense!
I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. No, I don't know "what's in it".
Neither this vaccine nor the ones I had as a child. Nor do I know
what's in the 11 secret herbs and spices at KFC. I also don't know
exactly what's in Ibuprofen or any other painkiller-- they just treat
my headaches & my pains. I don't know what's in tattoo ink, botox and
fillers, or every ingredient in my soap, shampoo or deodorants. I
don’t know the long term effect of mobile phone use, or whether or not
that restaurant I just ate at REALLY used clean foods and washed their
hands.
There's a lot of things I don't know.
I do know one thing: life is short. Very short. And, I personally
still want to do things. I want to travel and hug people without fear
and, I want to return to and enjoy the feeling of life "before Covid".
Throughout my life I've been vaccinated against many diseases:
Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis, influenza,
tetanus. We trusted the science, and never had to suffer through or
transmit any of those said diseases.
I'm vaccinated. Not because I’m a sheep or to please the government.
Not to make other people do it.
But, I don't want to:
* die from Covid-19
* take up a hospital bed if I get sick - Amen!
* not be able to hug my loved ones
* not be able to travel & enjoy events
* live my life in fear
Can't say it any clearer. I'm vaccinated for me and I wear a mask for you!
Thank You
Paul Mageau
Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome.
