Hi Laurie - I have been thinking a lot about what you said here about the feeling we can all relate to now that you've had for a decade, that being around large groups of people is threatening to your health. At the risk of sounding Pollyanna-ish, maybe it can raise the level of sensitivity and compassion toward others. I feel sad when I go to the market now and someone gets too close for comfort, because I catch myself feeling upset and nervous, even angry - I don't like to have those feelings and never thought I would look at others that way. Knowing that you, and others who have lived with compromised immunities for a long time, have to walk that walk all of the time is eye-opening.
Happy belated b-day to Gus. Wow - 20 years old. I remember him in his crib! Sending you virtual hugs.
Laurie, it is hard to believe you are coming up on two years this summer. Think of all the people in those two years who have learned from your experience and have been inspired by you. You have shared so much information with so many people. Keep training, and keep safe. Give our love to Gus and Ben, xoxo
This is all so very good, Laurie. I'm so happy you are doing well, and I think of you often!! I feel lucky that we had the good fortune to meet while you were in DC, and I look forward to seeing you again soon. Many, many XOXOs.
Scary strange time we are living in, I am glad that Gus will not be on the front lines of this pandemic and possibly bring it home to infect you. Are your hands as chapped as mine? Stay home, stay well, and hope that the shingles heal, no fun.
Shingles are a bummer, Laurie, and I’m sorry they happened to you! Otherwise you seem pretty terrific and making plans for 2021 is a good sign.
Having Gus home is a blessing ♥️
Happy belated b-day to Gus. Wow - 20 years old. I remember him in his crib! Sending you virtual hugs.
