How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

A holiday week, and <strong> normally I’d be busy packing for a trip to see family, gathering with the work crew</strong> and <strong> gathering with neighbors.</strong> <strong> Instead, I’m hunkering down</strong> with my husband and the dogs for a quiet holiday at home.<strong> The work crew and I decided “no presents, just love” since it’s been a hard year financially.</strong> I wish I could hug them. And my family connection will be phone/FaceTime/zoom. ( doesn’t feel the same). <strong> But here’s my gratitude</strong>: No one I love is sick. My business is afloat. My mortgage is paid up after a few rough spring months. We have at least 6 more months of this and we’re all tired.<strong> What sustains me:</strong> Yoga. Qi gong. Daily meditation. Going to the office each day like things are still normal. Cooking healthy food. Talking with my neighbors at a distance. <strong> It’s just a year. Hope we learn from it.</strong>
