Prompt? "Is success a result of luck, or hard work? Neither? Both? Read this article and share your thoughts. https://jamesclear.com/luck-vs-hard-work"

Success to me is a combination of hard work and blessings from God. Some people just get lucky but my successes are made possible because I work hard and God blesses my work.

"Prompt: Write about an experience that made you very happy."

I'm getting along in years so I've had a lot of experiences that have made me very happy. Narrowing it down to any one particular experience seems nearly impossible. I guess that if I had to choose any one experience over any other it would be meeting Jesus for the first time. I was so happy I was crying. I didn't know whether to fall on my face or do jumping jacks. I was elated! I've had many such encounters since and my heart leaps for joy every time.

Prompt: "What's happening in your area with the corona virus? Are they closing businesses, restaurants, movie theaters? What are you doing personally to protect yourselves?"

Personally, I think COVID-19 is simply another strain of the flu and they are making a big deal out of something perfectly normal. However I too am taking precautions like being a hermit. I sit in my room like a prisoner while the idiots I live with go on as if it's "life as usual." Why is it that some people don't give a hoot? When the flu itself was going around there were several people here who had it. They were asked to wear masks and refused. They were asked to isolate and refused. I would have isolated them if I had the authority. I'd have arrested them and forced compliance. Here I am missing work to keep them from getting sick while they go on as if it's just any other day. It makes me angry. Of course I make light of it occasionally as well. I posted a message on social media that I had toilet paper for sale. "$10.00 per sheet. Only used once!"
