I'll get my vaccine over here. I'll get my vaccine over there. I'll get my vaccine just about anywhere.
I will get it on a train. I will get it in the rain. I will get it on a hill. I will get it from a guy named Bill.
I will get it on my lunch. I will get it, I have that hunch. I will get it in my car. I will get it at a bar. I will get it through a spoon. I will get it on the moon.
I will get my booster shot, for protected as I am, many still are not.

@starpath depending on what part of Georgia you are in ... Lookout Mountain, Little River Canyon if you are in/ near northwest sector... Blue Ridge,Brasstown Bald,Tallulah Gorge if in northeast sector... Tybee Island and anywhere along the Georgia coast... Providence Canyon and other State parks if in the middle of the state. Just a few of my favorite places to go see and feel waterfalls,mountains,ocean and Nature ... all power places for me.
Just a head’s up from a relative who is a health care provider: She says she is seeing patients who are getting sicker with the flu than the vaccinated patients are getting with COVID. (Younger population). So consider getting the flu shot, too.
So consider getting the flu shot, too.
Yes indeed. I think sometimes we can get complacent about the flu since it's been around forever and we learned to live with it even before flu shots were commonly available. I didn't use to bother with getting an annual flu shot, reasoning I'd lived through the disease several times before and I could deal with it.
Then one day it dawned on me that even my so-called mild flu experiences had been utterly miserable, and why should I bother putting up it with again now that there was a vaccine? (My mom used to say that the way you could tell the difference between a cold and a flu was that when you had the flu, you felt like you were going to die and kind of wished you would.)
So yes, folks, get a flu shot. Being in bed miserable for a few days is just that, MISERABLE, and fortunately, avoidable.
I live in Georgia and I will need to talk to people or research places near here where I can try his suggestion.
You don't necessarily need to look far for a spiritual place. Some places might be more powerful than others but just about any quiet place in nature will help. There's a big oak tree in an urban park by my house that I used to commune with during one difficult phase of my life. He (the tree) was comforting.
Thanks for the suggestions...I live in Athens. I have seen Talullah Gorge but not Brasstown Bald.
I have been wanting to check out Providence Canyon for a while now.
I will try to plan something in January possibly.

Pfizer says it's covid pill is effective on all of the covid strains, including Omicron.
We are about to enter our third year in a covid 19 world.
THRID YEAR!
Kinda shocking that this is our reality.
@lovendures and what I find surprising I feel the previous 2 years went fast. I was looking for a photo of the smoke we had from our horrific bushfires thinking it was a year ago and it was 2019. We went from fires to Covid lockdowns and floods back to Covid. Those years seem to have flown.

COVID is a proxy for the cosmic shifts that are underway, so we should expect seemingly level-headed individuals to be destabilized by the sheer convolutions of pandemic life and the cross currents of public opinion. I just read portions of a new essay by Charles Eisenstein, and it's clear that he has been destabilized to a certain degree (Charles is a public intellectual and not a psychic, so I'm allowed to mention his name). Despite claims to the contrary, he's disseminating self-righteousness and an us-versus-them mentality that says anyone who enforces pandemic safety measures is an abuser...
The point is that all of us are under enormous stress right now, perhaps more so than in any other period of human history, so it's important to practice spiritual/intellectual hygiene. For me that means using mindfulness/meditation practices to stay grounded and resist the pull of tribalism.
