Change is good - No Dial Tone on our ND Line

New Directions Support Group used to be incredibly well-attended. We have never been able to figure out why people no longer come in droves the way they used to do.

At the bottom of this email is a photo of our group.

YOU ARE ALL AWESOME INDIVIDUALS and we are proud to host you.

Rem Murphy's sister, who has the virus, is doing very well. HURRAY!

My goals today, March 30, YES, we are goalsetters, right Helen? - are three.

I did the most difficult first as I thought I'd be on the phone for hours.

Called Verizon and asked for them to discontinue our New Directions phone number, 215 659 2366.

Did I feel sad? Yes and No. It would save us money!

Laura helped me. We discussed the V. She lives in NJ and is happy to get out and take her dog for a walk.

Calls will be forwarded to me, Ruth Deming, at 215 659 2142.

I had been in contact with my physical therapist, Margaret Fitzpatrick. Told her I would wake up in excruciating pain.

She told me to put a lumbar pillow beneath my knees.

It worked!

She wrote me that as we get older, our bodies get "cranky" and don't perform the way they used to.

You ain't just whistling Dixie!

THOSE WERE THE DAYS, MY DEARS

"Oh, if I only knew how good things were,"
a commmon complaint. Scheduling folks
to speak at New Directions: Karl Rickels
who fought with the Desert Fox -
Brian Rothkopth, a peer specialist who
promoted that career, and a woman from
University of Pennsylvania who led us
in mindfulness meditation.

I could get it all done. Like Dad, I'm
a hard worker and an organizer too.

Should I put "my dead dad" though he's
never been really gone as he resides
like a shadow deep inside.

Last night Scott and I watched fantastic
cooking shows. "I'll have what Phil is
having" was hilarious.

I haven't laffed like that in weeks.

Why? The pall that's over this land, this earth.

Scott visited this morning. He had a great night's sleep
and read that General Electric (hello former neighbor
Charlie Savino) and other companies are building
ventilators so people won't die unattended in the halls
of hospitals.

Before I work on the short stories, gonna watch MIRED
on Neflix. Was gonna read a review and then I thought,
Girl, if you like it, keep on watching.
