These are really hard times for some older people.

[OhNo-Really]

11. Weekly FaceTime is wonderful!

I’m calling a spade a shovel.

Isolation SUCKS PICKLES.

The thought of gasping for air for a few weeks and maybe having the heart explode or suffocate is motivation enough to keep me at home and

Counting my blessings.

Gratitude exercises helps the most when feeling blue.

Even this happy home body used to be able to mix it up on an occasional shopping trip chatting up fellow shoppers & familiar employees.

Now so alone.

Let’s not discount how much this sucks but, you are right. We have to fight the good fight and reach out to others and NOT allow ourselves to sink into an abyss of despair. And if you do, call a friend.

Call someone.

I garden & paint now. Shoot for 10k steps a day.

CALL a friend before sinking.
