As we watch the numbers of new cases of and deaths from COVID-19 continue to escalate, the motivation for social distancing is high. Essential workers still go to work and others of us work from home. The economy has been hit hard, but if we can contain COVID-19, things should get better. Return to normal? Who knows what the new normal will look like? We must stay hopeful.<\/p>\n<p>I have struggled with anxiety and fear, but thankfully focusing on God, praying, and reaching out (appropriately) to others as much as possible have all been restorative in the stress of these days.<\/p>\n<p>Being proactive and cultivating new positive habits will help us endure and thrive through whatever our current circumstances are. Many of us now have friends and family who have contracted this disease. We want to keep the impact of this disease as low as possible&#8230;worrying or panic will not help them or us. So&#8230;we hunker down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24795\" src=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC.jpg 2160w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-COVID-19-and-hunkering-down-Distraction-AETC-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2160px) 100vw, 2160px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aetc.af.mil\/News\/Article\/2125667\/covid-19-crisis-poses-mental-health-challenges-as-well-as-physical-demands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senior Airman Alexa Culbert,\u00a0 AETC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24799\" src=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"997\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020.jpg 997w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020-768x832.jpg 768w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Science-Museum-of-Virginia-April-4-2020-945x1024.jpg 945w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/a>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top\/?q=Science%20Museum%20of%20Virginia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Science Museum of Virginia<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24783\" src=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News-768x824.jpg 768w, https:\/\/debmillswriter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Blog-Coronavirus-Ga-Health-News-955x1024.jpg 955w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gahealthnews\/status\/1241171873699901440\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia Health News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Even as I posted the above graphics, the thought came how we&#8217;ve all seen maybe more graphics on COVID-19 than we hope ever to see again&#8230;we can social distance&#8230;we can encourage and stay connected in creative ways and we can pray.]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/annvoskamp.com\/2020\/04\/this-is-a-war-where-are-the-prayer-warriors-to-win-this-battle-pandemicprayers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>This Is a War and Where Are the Prayer Warriors to Win This Battle? #PandemicPrayers<\/em> &#8211; Ann Voskamp<\/a> [included free is a powerful prayer bookmark]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Be calm and shelter on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just maybe a sweet daughter-in-law will bring the grands for a drive-by.
