Changing the way we interact with others

Is social distancing going to be a new way of life?  I understand it due to fear of catching the Covid-19.
What happens after this passes?  Will people still be afraid to come up and give each other hugs, shake hands with one another?
I really am hoping that we can become socially connected to each other! I believe that is what humans need and are meant to give love and friendship and receive it back.  That is what makes us human!

A time of uncertainness

This is the time where there are more questions than answers. Such as:

1.Will churches open up for Easter services
2. Will schools open up so students can finish their schooling or will they have to do online learning?
3. The airlines and hotels will they allow guests into their areas or will people like me have to reschedule?
4. Will businesses and stores get back to normal after all this?


My wish is this: When this is over, we can be even more kind to others and be thankful for full store shelves and regular business hours.
One thing is for certain, we need to be kind to one another during this period  because others are scared and we could be that beacon of light that helps them through this!

Life gives you lemons-make lemonade

With this Corona Virus shutting things down, I have to look at the positives:

Tv-with new antenna and more channels-free entertainment
I can still exercise even without the gym-yes I miss it but I have to be creative when I go on vacation so test run.
I have my kitties-they are good entertainment-kitty smackdowns or just wanting to cuddle with me.
More time with Terry-cuddling
Carry out option don't have to purchase soda, drink more water.
I also get my French lessons done quicker now.

These are a few a positives.  I am making lemonade at the lemons that this virus is throwing.

New way of life

This COVID-19 or Corona virus is really making people change their lives in various ways: Certain churches are closing their doors for a few weeks, restaurants with drive thru or carry out only, gyms, and library have closed.
Now we hear a term like social distancing so we don't catch whatever someone has.  We can't hug the person or shake hands with them, we have to stay with in 6 feet away from them.
Another sad thing is people are hoarding stuff and others can't get it because people buy too much and don't save any for the rest of humanity. I heard in one state there was a fist fight over paper towel. That is sad when it gets to that point.
My personal advisor will be having sessions via video chat during these times. I understand why she is doing this so she can be safe for her and husband. I will miss the hug at the end of the session.
I get why, and yet it feels so cold to do that. 
I just hope and pray that this will be a thing of the past like N1H1 and people can return to the routines they used to do before all this came about.


I know this won't last long just have to find other ways to do things and try and be positive and be there for each other!
