A Line from your President…
I hope you are all doing well and have found a routine that helps to restore some sense of normalcy as we enter our 4th month of dealing with the pandemic. On a brighter note, more and more activities are becoming available as stay at home restrictions are being eased and businesses are slowly opening. Several lakes, including Dixon, Wohlford, Poway, Miramar, Murray, Lower Otay and Cuyamaca have opened up to fishing. Campgrounds Including Joshua Tree, Cuyamaca and Santee Lakes are also open. All of these activities are opened on a limited basis and continue to require that social distancing guidelines are followed. Many of our favorite stores, including Bass Pro Shops, are also slowly opening. I am sure many of you are eager to get out and enjoy many of the activities that have been so long denied to us, but please remember that we all fall into the category of most vulnerable to the disease and take proper precautions. I sincerely hope to see all when next we meet. Once again we will not be meeting in June. It is hard to tell how long the Senior Center will remain closed to groups, but please remember they have our safety and well being at the top of their priorities. For those wondering if there is anything positive about the pandemic, I will leave you with this list I borrowed from the internet :
TRAFFIC is gone,
FUEL is affordable,
BILLS are extended,
KIDS are at home with their FAMILIES
PARENTS are at home taking care of their CHILDREN
FAST FOOD replaced by HOME COOKED MEALS
The AIR is CLEANER,
The WORLD is quieter
PEOPLE are conscious about HYGIENE and HEALTH
MONEY doesn’t make the WORLD GO AROUND anymore
DESIGNER clothing is pointless as nobody ever really needed it.
DOCTORS AND NURSES are being praised and recognized instead of celebrities.
And WE now have TIME, finally to STOP and SMELL the ROSES.
And don’t forget to LOOK UP AT THE STARS, Our world is pretty amazing.
