Again, I am reminded of how technology is keeping me sane.  I’ve emailed and texted with friends and coworkers.  I have ZOOMed with my writing group.  Of course, there have been telephone calls.  And now I’m settling into a night of Facebook.

This could be so much worse.  We may be social distancing, but many of us are both maintaining social connections and building new ones.

Of course, I say this having turned the television off early this morning.  The relentless reporting of this crisis is necessary, but it is not necessary that I watch every minute of it.   I trust that if it’s important, they will tell me tomorrow when I turn the news back on.  Too much is just too much.  I’m practicing safe television.

Namaste, y’all.
