I'm not finding social distancing tough just yet, but of course I'm used to being out in the work world all week, and I have always longed for more time at home - now I'm getting it! I was feeling burned out and frustrated, so a little break at home is a good thing for me. Everyone has to find what works for them...and yes, face time is a great idea for those that are missing socializing.

I prefer my pets.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1791860108829806850.post-2982603491844504682020-03-23T10:22:09.814-04:002020-03-23T10:22:09.814-04:00This is a great post Laura.

To know others are having these same symptoms can help us to understand this is not always going to be the norm. This will pass we just have a long haul to try and get through. I always tell myself this is not forever, it is a temporary bump in the road. We will come out of this to better days. Patience and safety!
