I just purchased a new red elephant print mask. The Everyday Mask 2.0 (Around Ear) – Proper Cloth It fits well and I love the print design which makes me smile.
Does a new mask make me look like a crazy worry wart? Why am I buying a new mask when all around me people are discarding them? Why am the only masked person in a store–particularly when we know that only 67% of the state is vaccinated?
COVID is not done with us. Maine just moved to “High Risk.”
Maine (ME) – COVID Vaccine & Risk Tracker – Covid Act Now
While the risk of serious illness to those of us who are vaccinated has decreased significantly, cases are rising. The unvaccinated and frailest in our midst are the most vulnerable.
You’ll see my smiling face in small groups where I want to be heard. I’ll be the one opening the window or urging people outside.
Wave when you see me in my red elephant print mask. It is a sign of my love for you and all in our community. We’re in this pandemic together.

I will wave back and be smiling under my mask as well! Thank you for sharing this; helps me realize even though I might be the only one donning a mask in a crowded, indoor space, I’m not the only one!
Well put, as always !!! I am unabashedly pro-mask when in a supermarket or any crowded venue. It just makes sense and lets people know that I care for them.
