Man from U.N.C.L.E. Section VII

I think that distractions go a long way to helping us look past the current crisis the world is facing.  I am not given to the predictions of doom, I tend to keep a more optimistic outlook; I believe we'll see a vaccine and a cure. That's my platform and I'm sticking to it.

I do think the creative process is a good antidote to the gloom of those predictions we keep hearing, because the production of art and literature, whatever it is that qualifies as the creative process, is good for our attitude.  The ability of the human body to respond favorably to happy words and thoughts is scientifically proven, and I will add that before science found that our immune system gets fractured by worry and anxiety, one of the writers of the book of Proverbs wisely stated that a good attitude acted like a medicine for the body.  Or, as King James put it, a merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

Today, try drabbling. 

One Hundred Words to confirm your commitment to not going down with the doomsayers is one way to bolster your optimism, which I hope you possess today.

I'll admit to being curious about how it's going for everyone, whether or not we're still having visitors, people checking to see what's being posted.  I can look at the stats and see numbers and the 'anonymous' lurkers, but I wonder how many are willing to just tick the heart icon to say you were here.

I'd expect that in these times, the internet activity is increased because of the stay at home orders we've mostly received.  Kentucky isn't on a severe lockdown, but we started early with following the recommendations and have kept our number of cases fairly low, thankfully.  Of course the landlocked states have fared the best in all of this, as opposed to the coastal states that have a steady stream of people due to shipping, tourism and any number of reasons for landing there.

Here on Section VII it would be nice to know how you're doing.  Some post on a regular basis, so we're accounted for.  Marian has moved and is in her new apartment, but she won't have internet for awhile.  I talk to her everyday, and can tell you that she's surrounded by boxes and still finishing up with the cleaning duties at the old apartment.  Kitties are all good, and the process of living in a new place has begun.

How about the rest of you, can you check in and let us know you're doing okay?  If you're willing, just respond in the comments.  Connecting is important, and I hope y'all will do that here.
