Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I'm in a mood. Deciding not to try to fly up for the virtual memorial service is probably the right thing to do, but it's depressing. Hopefully, this Delta mess will subside and I can travel later. I feel kind of mired in quicksand. I'm bored, restless, afraid, feeling elderly and vulnerable. I saw today in the news that the people who are vaccinated are cautious and not testing the waters of inside dining or travel, etc., while the unvaccinated are out there on a limb drinking, dining, seeing shows and games and traveling. This is not reassuring, because if I feel brave, I'll be galavanting around with the unvaccinated. As I told my dentist yesterday, I don't really want to go to our cabin, because nobody there is vaccinated or masking, and they are downright hostile to people who wear masks. Their numbers of cases are way up too, so it's not a safe environment. And people become angry and belligerent if you wear a mask. I feel safer in my area, where people mask and are careful, and the numbers are low. What a mess! I'm weary.
