my family, Holly, and i have been talking, and discussing too, about the coronavirus. it's a big news story. some friends have written to me too, discussing the coronavirus. We've been keeping updated on our local news, and also the news stations. the other day, our govenor declared a state of emergency, and a health emergency. We've been hearing more and more about the virus, learning about it. educating ourselves, is one of the best things we can do, when there's a virus like this. our state has been updating us. there are currently 6 cases here in Connecticut. they haven't closed schools here in our area, but there are some precautions our state is doing, like other states, in limiting public gatherings, cancelling parades, and also giving tips, on preparations, just in case of a quarantine. the news seems to be more fast, and quicker, during these times, with many breaking news stories.

we have been stocking up a bit, on some essential items, and also are planning to stock up some more, this weekend, just incase there is an in-home quarantine. it's good to be prepared, just like if a hurricane was approaching, or a winter storm, it's good to be stocked up on essential items. my mom and Lisa went to walmart, and other stores, and mentioned low stock on some items. we noticed that our dollar tree doesn't have any hand sanitizier, and masks. we did stock up on some of the masks last spring, as i have allergies, and the masks protects me from pollen while gardening. some of the things we are stocked up on already, are healthy teas, water, rice, canned goods, peanut butter, spices, masks, pastas, coffees, vitamins, honey, lemons, oranges, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, first aid items, like bandaids, medicines, vicks vapo rub, and more like batteries, radio that's battery operated :) some good essential items ,to have for now, in the times, and times ahead, no matter what happens, it's good to be stocked up and to remain positive, keep safe, stay alert, aware, and updated :)

One of the things my family, Holly, and i have been doing, is focusing on eating well, and keeping our immune systems built up :) we've been eating oranges, we also have lemons, to add tea :) we also make these healthy soups, with ginger powder, garlic, onion flakes, and we've been drinking some healthy teas too, along with adding some ginger/honey lemon to the teas :) it's helpful in keeping our immune systems strong :) Another thing we've been doing, that's helping a lot, is keeping alert, aware, and going about our days, as normal as we can :) keeping to routines, is very helpful :) i've been spirit writing in my journals every day, and it helps me a lot :) We know it's a concerning, and worrysome time. We saw on the news last night, that actors Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, have the corona virus, and that the NBA has suspended the season and MLB and NHL are also suspending their seasons. We're keeping everyone in our thoughts, prayers, and in our hearts :)

We feel very confident, in everyone who is helping out, with things, from doctors, nurses, to scientists, labs, workers, govenors, our government, and local state officials, that they are doing all that they can, to help create a cure, vaccine, to help. we're hoping, and praying, that the coronavirus eases, and that with time, life will get back to normal, like everyone knows. Wishing everyone in need of healing, a full healing recovery. The precautions taken place, to ensure and reassure, the safety of everyone, is very comforting :) wishing us all, the best of safety, comfort, and best of good health. :)We're all in this together, and will make it through these times, one day at a time :) i visit DS every day,and i'm here, anytime anyone needs to talk, through messages/hugs :) always feel free to write :) i've been thinking of many of our friends across the miles, and checking in on them :) Thank you all too, our dear angel friends, for always being here for us :) Big group caring and comforting friendship hug :) friends forever :) We'll always be here for you and your family's :)

We're enjoying a nice relaxing, and peaceful day :) my family, Holly, and i are doing well, and are in great spirits :) We've been enjoying some nice phone calls today, with friends, and enjoying some foods ,snacks, and drinks :) Holly and i are going to watch some cool youtube videos tonight :) We've been resting up, and getting ready for some more march celebrations :) Tomorrow's our annual St. Patrick's Day themed baking friday adventure :) We're going to bake some nice green shamrocks sugar cookies :) we love sharing our adventures :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for all that you do for us, and for the very special joy you all bring to our days, and our hearts :) You all are wonderfully nice, sweet, and very caring :) We deeply appreciate everything, with all of the love of our hearts :) big group warm caring happy sunny friendship hug :) We're looking forward to many more special times, and great things to look forward too, with family, friends, nature, and the wonderful spirit of march, and the season :)
