#ClapBecauseWeCare's 3 Month Anniversary (Saturday 6/27/2020)

GIUSEPPE AND TERESA AFTER PARTICIPATING ON 6/27/2020

I'd like to begin this entry by saying that three months ago yesterday (Saturday June 27th 2020) marked the date #ClapBecauseWeCare sessions began (3/27/2020) in NYC.

I initially learned about the tribute a few days after the fact and subsequently began participating on a nightly basis two days later on March 29th, 2020 so my three month anniversary of doing this is tomorrow. June 29, 2020.

As I've been discussing within a number of posts here on Blogger, my participation and cyber "coverage" of these tributes is a small way to pay homage to first responders, healthcare professionals and essential workers who are keep working tirelessly (through all kinds of weather) for everyone during this COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

During the course of these nightly sessions, I've become aquatinted with a few people I'd never met, such as Giuseppe and Teresa, seen in the image atop this entry. They posed for me after the session last night which was the eighty-ninth one.

As NYC heads towards PHASE TWO of reopening, which will be this Monday, June 22nd 2020, attendance at the two-minute nightly #ClapBecauseWeCare sessions which began in March 2020, has dropped.

However, they still continue, and the past two night's events (Thursday June 18 and Friday June 19) have been bitter sweet for me, as the couple, Giuseppe and Teresa, (G and T) who live in the building directly east of me will be moving to another part of the city at the end of this month.

They can be see the photo directly above, where I am standing in my rooftop garden.

This picture was taken in April by Julie Tersigni who lives in a building that is north and west of where I live. A few weeks after JT took this picture she got out of the city to escape the often sad craziness which was occurring during our lockdown.

Elton John has said (in a hit song), "Saturday Night's alright for fighting..."

BUT it's also alright for participating in a #ClapBecauseWeCare Session as you might surmise upon seeing photographs that I took of the tribute just a little over three hours ago. The one atop this entry is of Julie Tersigni.

This Evening Is My One Month Anniversary!

In a few hours time from now at 7:00 PM EST, it will be one month since my first time (Sunday, March 29th) of participating in a #ClapBecauseWeCare session.

On that evening, Julie Tersigni called out from her window after our #ClapBecauseWeCare session telling me that she had admired my garden which really lifted my spirits. She can be seen in the next image (wearing a pink hat).

This morning I had a nice surprise in my newsfeed when I learned she had posted a picture of my participation in last evening's tribute (and it can be seen in the image atop this entry).

4-27-2020: One Month Clapping Anniversary (Tuesday's Truths WK 177)

For my 177th segment of Tuesday's Truths which is falling on the twenty-eighth of April, I'd like to begin by saying that one month ago yesterday (Monday April 27th 2020), marked the date #ClapBecauseWeCare sessions began (3/27/2020) in NYC.

I initially learned about the tribute a few days after the fact and began participating on a nightly basis two days later on March 29th, so my one month anniversary of doing this is coming up!

As I've been discussing within a number of posts here on Blogger these tributes is a small way to pay homage to first responders, healthcare professionals and essential workers who are keep working tirelessly (through all kinds of weather) for everyone during this COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

During the course of these nightly sessions, I've become aquatinted with a few people I'd never met. One of them is Julie Tersigni who lives in a building is slightly northwest of where I live and on the first night that I participated she yelled from her window to announce she loved my garden.
