Hi, it has been awhile since I have blogged.  Strange times, strange behaviors.  And that is what I want to talk about.

These are strange and precarious times. And we will all react in a way that, at the moment answers some need we have, to be seen, to be heard or to be connected.  This is not a time to judge, to censure or correct, this is simply a time to be kind.

Many if you are fortunate to have families or significant others. Bravo, however, many have not.  Many people, especially people of an age, are home alone and their minds are wandering around on strange turf.
Thanks to Social Media we have have a window to expressing ourselves as never before.

I ask that you all became patient with whatever.  Some will post with multiple warnings, news flashes, cynicism, memes, hugs, pass ons, etc.  If this is not your cup of tea, then simply ignore it.  However, if compassion clears you to recognize that some of us, me included, are feeling isolated mildly to extremely frightened, then reach back.  Call friends who live alone, send funny texts.  But, please don't judge.

Science tells us we need many hugs on a daily basis, find a way to send those to shut ins, elderly neighbors.

I am fortunate to have amazing neighbors, yet I have my moments.  Will I ever meet my new great granddaughter? Will I see family members who are across the continent?  Late at night, these thoughts ramble through my head.

So, please, be kind, love one another.

I'm back, there will be more
