![]() Isn't it funny? During our present day and time during this global pandemic, in the United States, you can't go into a bank without a face mask. Before Covid-19, a person entering a bank with a mask on and everyone would run b/c you would think the bank is being robbed. Now it is required and normal. These face masks are our new "normal" and it's a normal I am ready to go away. I miss seeing smiles and laughter. The other issue with these face masks is the concept that many times they hide who we are and we may not be recognized by others, including friends or even family. These masks hide our face, our smiles, and allow us to go around unrecognized sometimes. One of the most important things in relationships, especially marriage, and in our families, is to NEVER wear a "mask" around each other. This is not talking about a physical "mask" but a emotional or psychological cover. This means hiding who we are, what we struggle with, things that are bothering us, or when we need help. Wearing a mask, or covering something up to seem like we are "okay", "not bothered" or the like, is the worst thing that can happen in a relationship, because that means we are being fake, or not authentic. We owe it to those who love us to share our lives honestly, authentically, and be real with them. Family are the ones who invest in us, believe in us, and want us to succeed. "All the world's a stage" but our family, our fiancé, spouse, and children are the audience. They should be the ones to know what is going on, without secrets. Be real, love, share, and empower each other. Invest in those you love and want to spend your life with. Always give your best. They deserve that and more.
