Last night we were watching Channel 2 news and a story they did just penetrated my heart. They began a series to help promote locally owned restaurants. Their first story spotlighted a restaurant here in Katy on Highway Blvd., Texas Traditions. The reporter talked to the owner and workers who were cheerfully working to prepare amazing Texas favorites for their customers and to keep their business open and running. The reporter implored people to support their local restaurants by buying take-out. I’ve been watching and reading daily. Trying to keep up with what’s going on. But for some reason that story hit me. I thought, “I’m spending day after day in the safety of my home with income, and distance, and in need of nothing.” And this is bad. This is so bad. So many working so hard to hold things together and I am here sheltered in place. I wept and wept.
