Social-Distancing - creatively finding ways to stay connected with others.

The feeling of loneliness can be overwhelming for many individuals who are facing life-altering experiences and the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic is no exception.  We need each other now more than ever.  Even this introvert does, especially during this time of uncertainty.

People are getting creative not only to stay connected, but to lift each other up.  Some of us are using Facebook, Facebook Live, Zoom, and/or Skype, who have never used them before.

On social media, friends and family are posting pictures of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, flowers, pets, and more.  Videos of siblings doing gymnastics or a friend taking a walk along a river with the sound of rushing water and birds chirping, can be a welcomed diversion. For all who are doing their best to be there for others, I am grateful.  Thank You!

In an effort to share a little joy and comfort, I’ve got two links below. One represents a family and their experience with social distancing called “One Day More” and the other is a cell phone choir singing “It Is Well with My Soul.”   Feel free to share posts that have lifted your soul and/or brought you joy.
