3) WELLNESS & FITNESS: Exercise, don& #39;t drink too much, eat well. BREATHE.

Reminder: this isn& #39;t happening to you, nor me. Nor us. This is happening to everyone worldwide. While everyone is in a similar situation, every situation is different.
Patience, support, calm, togetherness, planning, & hope that this is just a moment in time serves us well.
