Venus, aka the Little Diva, ignores the social distancing rules.

In this day and age of technology and social media, I think we need to change the term to “physical distancing”. Social distancing implies that we do not have communicable contact with others. With social media, this is near impossible – and the opposite of what we need if we are to be sequestered in our homes for an indeterminate amount of time.

While I am not a medical professional, I refer back to my previous post regarding the Creator and Maslow. We are not designed to be solitary individuals! 

That being said, isolate yourself in your home (disinfect it with bleach while you’re stuck there), read a book (or two or three), binge on Netflix, and communicate with friends on social media. Participate in the sharing of humorous and (sometimes) distasteful memes. More importantly, do this old traditional thing called “talking to someone on the phone.” Many elderly don’t have access to social media, so call your parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles. Have a verbal conversation with someone to help ease their loneliness and confusion.

Also, no one said you couldn’t walk your pets. Fresh air is good for you! Get outside! Volunteer to foster a dog/cat short term because the animal shelters are already understaffed and will need help!

On that note, keep on keepin’ on people!  🙂
