Thank you so much for the kind words.  I go out into the yard when the weather allows.  Some days are just more difficult than others.  We all need to support one another. 

Thank you, again.

I can hear it too often. I don't have dementia - I'm not forgetting the instruction in my state (and it has varied by state). Once was quite enough for me to hear it and I sure hope I never have to hear a stay at home instruction again in my lifetime!

While I’m not discounting the isolation and drastic change in lifestyle many of us are feeling, it helps me to realize how fortunate DH and I are to have a comfortable, safe home to cocoon in.

Of course my heart goes out to the medical staff but also to retail workers, trash collectors, hospital laundry workers, cleaning staff etc. I’m sure many of these low wage workers would give anything to be home and get unemployment until they could safely return to their jobs. They are literally risking their lives for $10/hr which humbles me.

I was also reduced to tears hearing about the doctors and nurses who had young families who were getting or updating wills and taping video messages for their children to view someday if they don’t make it.
