@sueinmn Hi Sue, While I know your post was directed to @fiesty76 I just wanted to chime in here. You mentioned the gratitude list at night. I find that helpful as well. It does put you in a better place for sleeping, doesn't it?

@sueinmn, Like you, the lack of face-to-face interactions is what I miss most during this isolation. My biggest question is not knowing when I’ll feel safe enough to resume any start back into mainstream life. Cyber/phone contacts, walks, gardening now have been a saving grace. I do a verbal “gratitude” list on my way to the coffee pot each morning and so far that helps start each day on a positive note. My great sadness is that I cannot see or spend time with my very ill closest friend. What is your greatest challenge and how are you coping with it?

I keep telling myself I am going to the basement and get into the many toy boxes and separate the toys according to age and donate them to the poor. I hate going to the basement by myself. My husband refuses to do anything I want. We live together but do not do much together except have meals. He and I do not like the same TV programs so he has his and I have mine. I love Love Stories and things on Netflix such as Mid Wives and he prefers Arnold what's his name in fighting shows. UGH. I do not care for fighting shows at all. I watched Trolls by myself. My grandkids loved it so much--I watched it and love the music. That's what makes me feel good. My friend and I watched a movie maybe Mary Poppins. She's 94. We are in the same Bible study and love the same things. She is the mother of seven and I am the mother of four.
