Alas, all scheduled events have been cancelled. All hope is not lost however...schedule your own event! This is a good time to call, Face Time, Skype, Zoom etc, friends, relatives and business and work associates. You have the opportunity to reconnect with people that you may not have heard from in a long time. Most of the video services have captioning capability and finding out how it works may be your challenge and your success of the day!
There are lots of interesting and fun "to dos" that you may have had to put off. You can still get some fresh air and include some healthy vitamin "D" from the sun, to boot.
Just think you can go for a walk and wave to a friendly neighbor and not worry you will be cornered into a prolonged conversation.
Feel like you've enjoyed a day out just by people watching, dog walkers, people on bicycles and more. You may find that taking time to watch the birds and squirrels who are "doing their thing" can be quite refreshing and take your mind off of unpleasantness!
Remember you are not alone we're all together in this!
Note: the Demo Center will be closed April and May. Please check back for the May Demo Center status. Available now the Virtual Demonstration Center VDC !
