I like the term “brain health” instead of mental health. A much better term. Too much stigma on mental health.Everyone needs good brain health. I think what helps me is that I like to think positive. Now I wasn’t always that way. It took years to develop that.. Now I can do it all the time. I am doing pretty good during this pandemic. I sew masks to donate and want to look into making some hospital gowns too. I enjoy working even though being an essential worker has its risks. I am able to donate to charities that are having a hard time because I am working. I especially enjoy donating to yours and reading your book.
True we are not getting any younger and this pandemic is going to take time to get over with . I can see your point there losing 1-2 years time, but because I stay focused on what is important it seems to keep me relatively happy enough. I know that you Mitch stay focused a lot on what is important to you. I think that if one doesn’t stay focused to move forward to help the best that we can we could lose hope. Who wants to do that. I feel bad for the people that are having a hard time being at home all the time with their spouse or children. It should be a good time. If it is indeed bad for some then they need to eventually change their situation I think down the road. Well have a great one and look forward to more of your writing.
