Toad on the Doorstep

a very tiny one

USA
1,095,023 confirmed cases of COVID-19
63,856 American Deaths

Local Update: our immediate Metro took a dramatic upswing in new COVID cases today.
However, Stay-at-Home restrictions will start to be officially removed in just another 3 days. Non-essential businesses will again open their doors. Meanwhile, many people are already breaking the rules and going out & about like normal. Based on the president saying that "federal social distancing" guidelines are no longer needed, some seem to feel that coronavirus is no longer an American problem.

Toads Symbolism And Spiritual Meaning:
"The symbolic meaning of toads is simple. They are the symbol of change. A toad is a small animal. Small animals always symbolize a strong family bond. A toad epitomizes adaptability. Like a toad, we should also embrace the changes in our life without being in despair for the loss we had to withstand. We should always believe that the universe has something better in store for us.

A toad on the doorstep is rather lucky and you should not chase it away. If toad has been appearing before you and has made itself at home in your front yard, it means good fortune is coming your way. A toad is widely believed around the world to be the symbol of prosperity and good fortune. The toad is an adventurous creature. Live life like a toad, full of adventures and never fearing changes." angelnumbers_lxhwgt October 16, 2019

If the tiny toad on our porch today is an indication of "good fortune", maybe we'll FINALLY get some toilet paper along with our grocery order tomorrow...

Great image and commentary on the good luck brought by a toad Liz. If getting toilet paper classifies as good luck, then you are in a bad way, which of course you are when one considers the horrendous and staggering statistics you quote and the reckless abandonment of restrictive measures contemplated/advocated by various levels of government.

Oh, this is wonderful. What a lovely shot. I like the idea that it might bring good fortune, something we all need these days. V
