“Stand Strong” is a virtual singalong dedicated to healthcare workers.

“It’s peel off your scrubs, stumble in through the door
Step into the shower and scrub yourself raw

You’re fighting for those who are fighting for breath
It’s a battle that takes until little is left

Stand steady, my friends, in the darkest of times
Our love will go with you as you hold the line
When the hardship is past, we as one will entwine
And we’ll dance to a better world coming

…”  (more lyrics at the YouTube page)

Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans. Despite our president, there’s much to be grateful for as a U.S. citizen.

Managed to keep our numbers low despite being surrounded. She jumped on things very early & convinced most of us that rules needed following diligently.
