During times like this we need to remember that we have plenty of things to be thankful for. With a potentially dangerous virus knocking at our door we nee to be vigilant in our efforts to keep our loved ones safe. We may be virtual prisoner in our own home but think about what you do have. You have the chance to reconnect with your family. Many of us during our busy lives have forgotten just how important our family is. Many of us seem to have lost touch with their hopes and dreams. I am looking at this time as an opportunity to get closer, talk more, connect more, and love more. There's nothing better than a loving close family.

Thank goodness for family and friends. We are social distancing so I won't be seeing the grandchildren until this is over. I've already talked to some family members and other friends have facetimed. We might not be able to physically be in the same room but technology is wonderful. Being able to chat here every day is keeping my life fairly normal.

MyLot is a great place to socialize without taking a risk. I talk to my children and grandchild quite often these days on the phone. I may not see them face to face but I do connect with them.

So true! Take this time to get back in touch with all the areas in life we had been putting to the wayside!

Exactly. I'm glad my mom raised me to always be thankful for what and who i do have, more than mad for what i don't.

Yep, those were the days when everyone was still here but so many have already passed on so I rely on memories and pictures. It's wonderful to remember those golden days.

Why moan and groan. Use the time or connecting with family and others.

I think that too many people are saying woe-is-me and not enough trying to take advantage of the time they have been given to connect with each other.
