I am finding that the past few days have been working well for me as I return to investing a lot of my time to writing. I am enough of a realist to know that I will again find myself retreating into the shadow world from time to time in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just ordered a microphone, a quality one to replace the headphone\/microphone set that is now somewhere in South America. When it arrives in about six weeks \u2013 yes, it appears that non-essential deliveries will delay its arrival \u2013 I will get to finally being able to record my novels into audio books. I literally am filling in my time with ease. There isn\u2019t the faintest hint of being bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my well-being during this pandemic, all I find myself needing is sunshine, good food, the constant companionship of my wife, and the virtual company of my children and grandchildren, and the freedom to be clothing free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What are your strategies for maintaining good mental health during the Covid19 crisis? I know that many are not doing well. If you are one of those who find themselves struggling, I encourage you to reach out to family, friends, and\/or mental health counsellors. I know that a number of such counsellors are reducing their fees where there is need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of my colleagues are now using online media to provide such counselling since access to offices has mostly been lost for so many in need. I include myself as a mental-health resource though I have been retired and not taking clients for a few years. If needed, you can contact me via email [rglongpre@gmail.com] and we can discuss your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to make comments here, or DM at my Twitter account [https:\/\/twitter.com\/SkyCladTherapy]. We are all in this together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s day nine of our quarantine here in Canada.
