[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 756282, member: 23706"] Ok so now our schools are closing soon. And many churches. Not yet ours. I feel a bit surreal but almost like we are all in a big adventure where we have to go back to older times and make do. I am going to expand our garden. My husband and I will invite my parents to stay with us so we can help care for them and keep them safe. We are not against a party here and there, but not now. My kids and grands will visit. Nobody else. We are going to stock up on board games and old books and puzzles because I don't think there will be much to do in our city. i expect most entertainment to shut down so we will have to find ways to have fun at home. Or we can take our camper to the forest where nobody else is. I do feel for the vulnerable population. My parents are definitely there. And hub is diabetic and.no kid. But to be honest the vulnerable are in danger when exposed to the regular flu or anything, really. My folks are in their mid and late 80s. When asked about Coronavirus, my mother very calmly said,"I have had a great life and I don't care how I get to heaven." My Dad is similar. So....my husband and I decided to treat this in a more fun way. We are not minimizing the illness, but if we must change our lifestyle to be our healthiest, and, more importantly, care for my parents, we are darn determined to enjoy ourselves as best we can. Hoping everyone can stay strong, look towards the sunlight and trust God, if God is in your life. There is a lesson for us in every challenge, I believe....maybe this is telling us to slow down and to enjoy the simple things in life that money can't buy. To smell the flowers. Let's try? Love to all. [/QUOTE]
