Sheila and I have missed being able to hug our children and grandchildren, but we have otherwise managed well during this trying time. We Zoom regularly with family and friends and that and Amazon have been amazing assists to our mental and physical health during a time when we need to stay physically isolated. It has also helped as we learned more and no longer needed to rinse down every package delivered from the grocery store or were more careful in ordering so the store did not misinterpret 12 bananas for twelve bunches of bananas (we got 81 bananas).
Joy is simply being grateful every morning when we do our stretching exercises, that we are feeling well, and surrounded by a loving family and a caring community. We of course also feel guilty at the same time that we are safe and supported when so many in the world are not. This reminds us to do what we can for others despite being in our little bubble.
