Hi Friends! 50 days ago the WHO declared covid-19 a pandemic. And here we are. We have come this far. Are we simply surviving or thriving? I am going to keep it brief tonight. I am planning on an early morning brisk walk/jog in the morning. The exercise, fresh air and birdsongs are essential for my mental health. Today I brisk walked 1.2 miles. No jogging, I was quite sore. I am aiming yo work up to 2 miles a day of brisk walking/jogging. Speaking of mental health, I am working on being more optimistic. I am frankly weary of all the cliche phrases in the news, especially "we are living in uncertain times". Gag. Life is uncertain. Let's look forward and kick this virus in the butt! Clyde Lewis had the same thoughts - and many more, as usual - I shared a few quotes from his radio program last night. Yesterday, I heard a podcast on NPR that inspired me to look on the brighter side. https://www.npr.org/2020/04/28/847562952/can-optimism-be-learned-like-right...
