I have been living through a life changing experience with all of you. We are all learning how to cope and manage daily life with the over shadow of Covid 19. Some people are equipped with great coping and stress management skills and some are not... and even those who manage well...well there is much to be said about not being able to have human contact, meeting through a virtual reality, and covering faces with masks...wouldn't you agree?

My parents are elderly, and suffer more or less with memory loss. So every time I visit them, to take them on a ride, just to get them some fresh air, I explain all about this virus, over and over again....working memory as it is.  Anyway, we went to a doctor's appointment for my mom, and this being the first time they had to wear masks, they looked at me a bit perplexed when I said we needed to put them on. So I told them... "Put on your masks, we are going to play 'bank robbers'." They laughed and put on their masks. Now when we go anywhere, they ask if they need to be 'bank robbers'. It's hard, for older folks. It's hard for younger folks. It's hard for folks in between. We live trying to balance a seesaw, sometimes we go up and way Whee!... and sometimes we bounce off the ground.

Of course we are all in this together...that is quite obvious!  

Of course, many  people are concerned for their health and well being.

 Of course, we feel over worked. 

Of course, we never expected to home school our kids. 

Of course, we never planned to be laid off.

Of course, we never thought the car would  breakdown. 

Of course, we never thought our friends would die of this wretched virus.  

Of course, Of course, Of course!

And
