Do Better, Chapter 8, section III. A: 1/5 of a map for the later years of Phase II

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This post is the start (for a Reader who’d expressed interest in my writing process: the Featured Image is my high level outline, which I sketched initially, and the image below is my detailed outline for this section) of the rough draft of  Chapter 8 of my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors.   This part of chapter 8 will begin the later years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase II, with a potential new adulthood rite of passage. 

ch8A

Sorry, Dear Readers, I forgot that this chapter has 5 sections per early and late, rather than the usual 4.

The overall objective remains that of putting a floor on poverty so that each and every baby born can have a safe childhood.

Outlines for chapter 8 will attempt to match with each section, at the bottom of each post.

Once again, by way of disclaimer…

Born of Hope or Madness

The Twisting Tail

Optimism is the madness of insisting that all is well when we are miserable.

But where is the balance?
We believe God to adjust accordingly

The Best of All Possible Worlds

Optimism
From the Latin
Optimum = the best
Optimism = spe = hope

The best hope


Miku: to hope is enough

you have already arrived
with hope


Research suggests that genetics determine about 25% of your optimism levels and environmental variables out of your control—such as your socioeconomic status—also play an important role.


Senryü: a natural excuse / I am genetically disposed because I was born imposed

It’s out of my hands
Through family and nature
I was made this way


I feel it in my yellow belly
That everything will work out…

140 million Americans have had coronavirus, according to blood tests analyzed by CDC – The Washington Post

The blood test study includes infections throughout the pandemic but counts each person only once. Daily coronavirus case rates tally every known infection, so many people who have had reinfections are counted again and again. The estimated 140 million is well over double the number of people included in counts by The Washington Post or government agencies as of late January.

The blood tests count only antibodies from natural infection, including asymptomatic cases, not from vaccination. The study measures the presence of antibodies. It does not indicate whether there is strong protection against subsequent infection.
