Get Shot -- the Flu Kind
If there is anyone in your life you love: get a flu shot.
If you think you are too old to get a flu shot: you aren’t.
If you love yourself: get a flu shot.
If you think you can’t afford the time or the money: you can. It doesn’t take long and most insurance pays for it.
If you like the idea of a respiratory disease, pneumonia, and other breathing challenges: forget about the shot.
If you think you will get influenza from the shot: you won’t (although minor aches and discomfort have been reliably reported—sorry).

If you think you are too young for a flu shot: you aren’t (unless you are younger than 6 months).

Living in medias res
Grief can lead to smoldering hate or to new meaning of life.
It is better to be of a lowly spirit among the poor than to divide the spoil with the proud. Proverbs 16:19 NRSV
The experience of being part of a holy moment is deepened when we prepare.
Repression breeds violence.
