Stay Positive

By Mary Fenner

Almost everyone has been affected one way or another by the coronavirus, not working, kids home
from school, loss of physical social connections, loss of routine. I live with my 90 year old father so we
are concerned for him and my mother is in a nursing home where we can’t go visit which is very very
tough! But there are ways to stay positive through all this, and I think we need to be diligent in our
efforts to do so.  A couple of tips are:

1. Limit your intake of news, a little goes a long way for our emotional well being.

2. Look to the past of all the craziness we have already survived…911…the financial failing of 2008

3. Keep your sense of humor, watch a funny video, do things that make you laugh and laugh at yourself.

Keep safe, keep strong and keep happy!
