So here is what I have been up to the last week trying to flatten the curve...this is almost the daily routine…
This week I posted the following comment on Facebook.
"No Republican can ever again claim to be pro-life...bastards!"
I have been working from home for almost 20 years. For me, this social distancing is the norm...at least in terms of work. I have learned some things, and observed/experienced some things that you might find helpful.
It started in my early teens...and I am certain it started as a way to exert some control over my own life.
I started to obsessively count things. But not normal things. I started to count the number of times my fingers touched themselves. If I brought my thumb and forefinger together, I had to touch my thumb to the other three fingers. Then I had to run the sequence on the other hand. It was only after this happened that I felt "balanced." It was a fairly harmless behavior at first, but it started to become problematic at school. When taking my notes, it was normal for my thumb to come in contact with my fore finger or middle finger...that was how I held a pencil. I would have to stop and touch my thumb to the other fingers and then run the sequence on the other hand. Then, I could get back to taking notes.
You could say I have been practicing social distancing for the last few years. I work from home and have clients all over. And while that is nice, I often realize that it has been 5 or more days since I have been outside the house. My husband does a good job of encouraging me to get out. I need that, because I honestly do not notice until the 5th day or so.
Without going into detail...Over the last year or so I have been able to observe the criminal justice system closely. It has been a stressful and sickening process to observe.
I have sat in court and watched people's lives destroyed. I realize there are consequences for bad decisions. That is not what I am referring too.
commercials on TV. It is what it is.
I love watching shows about family members finding each other. There is a show in the UK called Long Last Family. I love it! The stories always amaze me...and of course, I get to have a good cry.
"What has happened to our country?"
I have heard this question posed more times than I can count over the last few months.
I have some ideas...
Have you ever met someone for the first time and become instant friends? You know…there is some recognition on a deep level…like you have known this person for years?
