Friends, a quick note re: COVID-19 in Nebraska...

As that old saying goes, "The pessimist says 'It can't get any worse' and the optimist says 'Of course it can!'"

Allow me to be the optimist here and say that all signs are pointing towards us having a rough next few months

To get through it, we need a WINTER STRATEGY 2020. A few questions for you to consider this Fall/Winter:

1) How do you feel about group gatherings and how will you communicate this to your family?

Winter holidays can be full of family tension during *good* year... but now?

Think through what you're comfortable with so you can start talking to your friends and family now.

Don't get pressured into attending Aunt Myrtle's small, private Thanksgiving dinner that turns into a weird family party of 100 people.

And yes, I have an Aunt Myrtle.

Start thinking now about things you want to do this winter. What books do you want to read? What areas of town do you want to discover? What trails do you want to walk?

Winter is *lovely* and something to look forward to! Believe it!
