It almost is beginning to feel as though yesterday, with zero new cases in Salem, could be the exception, and not the rule. I’m hoping not.

These are not simply numbers. We must not forget that these are all someone’s husband or wife, mother or father, sister or brother, son or daughter, friend or neighbor.

It has been a very long day. I wonder if my face will reflect that I was wearing a mask outside for 12 hours today? This could create an interesting tan line! However, it is worth it as I try to stay safe, and always, be kind.
