I believe that we can all admit that we are living in a crazy, and somewhat scary, time. Every few minutes the news inundates us with new closings and cancellations, the Vegas buffets, Disney World, March Madness etc. And, as Mitch eloquently wrote on Saturday, the supermarket shelves are bare. But, during it all, we must make important decisions about our own families, businesses and lives. It can be overwhelming.

My question to you is how are you keeping yourself sane? How are you maintaining some sense of normalcy? Friday evening long time friends came over and they joined us in our home theater to watch “Bombshell.” Yes, it was weird that we could not hug them hello and that they sat in the row behind us, but it was comforting too. When the film was over we all remarked how nice it felt for two hours to think about something else other than our current circumstances.

Saturday morning I went to my weekly Weight Watchers meeting. And, while they would only allow forty-four people to attend and the chairs were spaced three feet apart so the meeting had a surreal quality to it, we spent forty-five minutes focusing on us and our individual journeys. The consensus of the attendees was that the meeting was incredibly therapeutic for all who of us attended. But, Weight Watchers announced today, understandably, that all future meetings would only be held online.

We are living in very strange times. So how do you navigate it sanely? Or better yet, are you distracting yourself from the current stresses? And, if so, how?
