Uncertain times are here. Social distancing is a reality. And, my neighbors have a freezer full of chicken!<\/p>\n<p>This Covid-19 virus thing is new for most of us and we\u2019re still not sure how to\u00a0react. Sprinkle in anger, hanging with your loved ones a lot and a stock\u00a0market that took a significant hit and the near future looks bleak. And yet,\u00a0public sector employees are in the middle of it all helping us keep towns, cities\u00a0and states running!<\/p>\n<p>Work has changed. Many of us are still working from\u00a0home. Life has changed.\u00a0\u00a0Going out is still scary for many.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships have changed. Viral is in. In-person is out, but we\u2019re finally\u00a0opening up some business.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The world we knew is on hold. It\u2019s adjusting and it\u2019s going to be fine. Question\u00a0is\u2010 are YOU going to be fine?<\/p>\n<p>Statistically, some more will get sick and sadly, some more will die, the virus\u00a0will hopefully subside, a vaccine will be found. And, life will slowly\u2026. slowly\u00a0get back to normal.<\/p>\n<p>Public sector employees, businesses, and leaders will begin to move forward\u00a0together again. It will be safe for groups to gather, celebrate, live life and party once again. This is a harsh test for all of us. It ain\u2019t easy. Thankfully, most\u00a0have food and shelter. That\u2019s a big deal when you think about essentials and\u00a0the non\u2010essentials like sports, entertainment, dining and gatherings. These\u00a0are now a bonus and will be embraced with joy again throughout the world\u00a0when we\u2019re given the \u201cgreen light\u201d to resume normal activities.<\/p>\n<p>This stinks because we\u2019re often still stuck at home, in an office that doesn\u2019t\u00a0always feel 100% safe from a health perspective. Or, we\u2019re binge\u2010watching,\u00a0having a drink or two and eating prepared meals again when ordering gets to\u00a0be too much. It\u2019s difficult to adjust to some change.<\/p>\n<p>Question\u2010 can ordering out or pick up ever become too much?

If I\u2019m wrong, you\u2019ll get double your money back. Repeat often!<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Phone that person that you\u2019ve been meaning to call. Listen to them. Hear their rants and then it\u2019s your turn. Change is tough. This change is proving to be really rough.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ve got a phone or computer, right? Put it down, unplug and go for a walk with a friend or loved one. But, keep your distance. Or, hold hands, it\u2019s your call. I went with a walk with my lovely wife today. We held hands and tried to smile.<\/li>\n<li>Eat something that makes you happy. Eat something that is good for you.\u00a0 Repeat.<\/li>\n<li>Any form of exercise will help. Anything. Be active, stretch, do some pushups, ride your bike, go for a hike, run, walk.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are uncharted waters and navigating them takes poise, tenacity and,<\/p>\n<p>okay, I\u2019ll admit it, candy. That\u2019s right. Don\u2019t tell my doctor, but I have a small\u00a0reserve of candy I eat to keep me happy. We may be low on toilet paper, but\u00a0the stores have food and plenty of candy!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you need to chat, have a laugh or simply vent feel free to email me\u00a0at\u00a0scott@scottlesnick.com.
