Social Distancing Does Not Equal Social Isolation

Brain cancer is...

...practicing social distancing.

Above you see us after dinner out with Geoff and Beth.  Yes, we were with friends, and yes, we went out.  We did say we were practicing our social distancing.  There was less hugging and more maintenance of some space.  But out, enjoying each other's company, for sure.  We aren't certain when we'll be together next.  

Like the rest of the US, we're reading up and trying to do our part to "flatten the curve"  of the COVID spread with techniques like risk assessment, good hand washing, and social distancing.  

As we watch the media and see all the empty shelves at the grocery stores, we are so grateful for our people.  Our people already know what this helpful article says:  Social distancing should not mean social isolation.  Here are some ideas:

• Let's all stay connected to nature.  Sure we should maintain a six-foot distance from humans, but we can get as close as we like to the birds.

• Let's take care of each other...and keep each other laughing.  Denise, for instance, promises us she won't let us go without toilet paper. Love you, Denise!  But we do also love a challenge.  Ha ha.

• Let's look for the silver linings.  Like most on-campus college students, nephew Christian was required to pack up his dorm room early and finish the term at home, online.  The silver lining?  A college Skelly sighting...in March.  Awesome.

• Let's make every night a date night.  Suzie and Gary make this social distancing look goood!

• Let's keep watching the world bloom.

In the face of all the uncertainty, we are reminded:  Whatever happens, we'll face it together.  

Thank you for keeping our world a bright and hopeful place!
