Who else has read Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, or The Trumpet of the Swan? These books were written between the 1940s and the 1970s. Stuart Little was written in 1945 and made it all the way to the silver screen in 1999. Many of us read The Trumpet of the Swan as children. Charlotte's Web was published in 1952, and the movie was released during Christmas of 2006. But why are we talking about children's novels? We're experiencing an atmosphere of concern & uncertainty. The...se difficult feelings are perpetuated by the effects of isolation. We are social creatures; isolation is not exactly good medicine for the human spirit. Not when we don't have a choice. In 1973, EB White, creator of Stuart, Charlotte, & our favorite swan, Louis, replied to a despondent letter from a friend with a message of hope in hard times. It is resonating decades after it was delivered. Most cities & counties in GA & across the country are ordering us to shelter in place, & many are enforcing curfews. In Gwinnett, people are being fined & even given jail time for breaking these orders. It's scary. We may not write letters to each other anymore, but our ability to overcome challenges together hasn’t changed. Yes, we need to keep our distance from each other; but COVID-19 is not the first enemy humanity has faced together, & it won’t be the last. For tomorrow is another day

It's #NationalDoctorsDay, and it's come in an extraordinary time. It should go without saying by now, but our nurses, doctors, and all other caregivers across the US and the globe are making astonishing sacrifices for all of us - and the finish line isn't visible yet. From Group Resources to all caregivers, here and across the world: THANK YOU.... #YESitsREAL #clapbecausewecare #flattenthecurve http://ow.ly/cVXn50z05JU
