Hi @gingerw That was a great article! And I thought I was the only one feeling down. I lost so much when I got sick and was working hard to get it back again. Well.... I had wanted to go see my mother but now none of us can. But, she says she’s being well taken care of where she is. With her age (96 ,soon to be 97) I worry all the time. So now I’ll go finish making masks for all my friends in the park! Doing for others always helps me. 🤗

Wow, Becky, You must have great genes to still have your mom working toward 97 yrs young! I like being a "helper" too and this isolation is really putting a physical cramp in my ability to runs errands and share meals with older friends. The worst though is not being able to physically visit my critically ill best friend. It seems so feeble to be reduced to phone and e-mail connections with those we care about. However, being in touch by any means available is better than not. Any polka dot masks in your arsenal? Smiles
