We're waking up this weekend in a whole new world. We're learning that our "president" ignored repeated warnings from the intelligence community about the coming coronavirus pandemic. As of this morning we're at 30,000+ cases and rising fast and our "leader" is referring to coronavirus as the “Chinese virus” and saying things like: "People are dying who have never died before." We all feel like screaming, "Waaaaaaah!" But let's you and me concentrate on the good things you hear this week and the good people around us. Hats off to Governor Cuomo in NY who is defining what leadership is. A high-five to people like Jayde Powell, a pre-med student at the University of Nevada, who has organized "Shopping Angels," a group of volunteers to provide free grocery delivery to the sick and elderly and the family. Here are more heartwarming stories of generosity and community spirit that you need right now. Folks, we will get through this. Stay positive. Help others. Find some fun with those you're quarantined with. And remember that the cream rises to the top, so take this forced regroup to figure out how to share your best self with the world.

Let's get to the issue of the tissue... If you've gone to the grocery store (which I hope you have), you've noticed there are a few empty aisles. Meats, fresh veggies, and... toilet paper. "Why oh why did we take our toilet paper for granted? I don’t know I guess it just didn’t seem that important. Well I guess it is!!” Here's living legend Carol Burnett's Toilet tissue fiasco. She has family drama. "Dear Mom, Your toilet paper isn't soft enough so I went to the library. Love, Your Son." "Dear Mom, I ran off with a motorcycle gang that had softer toilet paper. Love, Your Daughter." To get thru this virus find the things that make you laugh. I promise we will get back to normal in the meantime, you must stay positive, even if you got stuck with scratchy toilet paper.

Love they neighbor. From a distance.
