April 17, 2020 . . .

Today was supposed to be a great day, because George Boden was going to sing for us and play his guitar! Well, that is if we could have all been at our meeting, but instead we are all cooped up at home, but still smiling! That is, I hope we all are!
I’m absolutely convinced that Readers Digest got it right when they started the section that they named ‘Laughter is the Best Medicine’. I’m not a doctor, but it sure makes me feel better when I’m able to laugh. Remember the woman who spoke at one of our meetings last year? The one who made everyone laugh – right out loud - I think for five minutes! That really made me and a lot of us feel good, didn’t it?
Oh well, how about George singing about a bunch of old ladies stuck in the lavatory, or something like that! It’s enough to make a grown man laugh! I’ve personally heard George play and sing three or four times, and each time we loved him!
About being cooped up in our houses: my Mother used to say, “This too will pass”, and I don’t think she was talking about food.
History has shown me that this cooping up at home and all the different restrictions that may come before this attack is over will pass, as well. Maybe it takes a bit of ingenuity, and certainly a lot of patience, but as sure as salt goes well with pepper, it will pass.
Some day, and I hope it’s soon, we will move as we wish, instead of being cooped up at home, as we are now . . .
‘til then, keep safe, but keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
