My Response (CoVid-19)
Mar. 14th, 2020 09:30 amTo myself:
When worried about elderly relatives, be grateful for the long life they've had, when in some countries to reach 60 is an achievement.
When worried about the strain on the health services, be grateful that these services exist.
When worried about the thought of getting ill, be grateful that I'm not in a country torn apart by war and famine and many other diseases.
When worried whether I am handwashing enough, be grateful for the clean water.
When worried about lack of stocks in the shops, be grateful that there is normally an abundance.
When worried about cutting back on physical social contact, be grateful this is an option and I am not usually isolated.
And: when the combined impact of all the messages is bringing me down, make a point of saying something positive to someone else, virtual hugs are not contagious.
*Hugs to all*
