Coronavirus mentality

Wow! What a crazy week! 

How are all of you? 

Today -- I'm ok. I guess because some kind of action has been taken, I'm feeling less afraid. There's probably worse to come with the number of cases rising, but it seems a relief that the situation has at least been acknowledged.

I admit I've turned off some of my favorite news shows because it got overwhelming.

Have you noticed people are driving like maniacs? We could take a cue from Italy. They had a virtual flash mob (also on their balconies) of singing songs. A little more kindness during these difficult times just might help all of our immune systems.

On a less consequential but personal note, the coronavirus attitude has too easily gripped me. Let's eat this and let's get that treat because who knows when we'll have it again? Pretty silly. It's exactly the all or nothing kind of thinking I must avoid for my health and sanity. 

I'll admit, the thought of a perfectly-timed, month-long diet has crept into my brain. Why? The time limit, the isolation and the opportunity to focus.

Instead, I think I'll focus on family dinners. Not something we normally have around here. Dance classes for my daughter are always right at that time...every day.

Speaking of my daughter. She's my biggest worry. Super high energy tween who needs to dance dance dance! YouTube will be a blessing (WOW! I never expected to say THAT!) 

How do I deal with her fears and disappointments? (Canceled dance performances)

What are your biggest concerns?
