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

A holiday week, and normally I’d be busy packing for a trip to see family, gathering with the work crew and gathering with neighbors. Instead, I’m hunkering down with my husband and the dogs for a quiet holiday at home. The work crew and I decided “no presents, just love” since it’s been a hard year financially. I wish I could hug them. And my family connection will be phone/FaceTime/zoom. ( doesn’t feel the same). But here’s my gratitude: 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. What sustains me: 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. It’s just a year. Hope we learn from it.
