The Brain's Response to Stress - How Our Brains May Be Altered During the COVID-19 Pandemic
With the government moving towards Phase 2, there is a lot to do in preparing to open our doors in New Glasgow. Our store will be in early June and our restaurant will be Father’s Day.
I loved this video sent to me by a reader of the blog. Thank you, Lyn.

What a lovely blog this time even if you didn’t have time to write a lot yourself! Good news about opening up – we in the Imperial Valley of southern California are still having too much illness – I hope we don’t open soon…even though we are all going stir-crazy!! Loved the “Where is Matt” video…thanks for sharing. Stay well.

Mason Cooley said ‘Reading gives me some place to go when i have to stay where i am.’ Your blog/s do this….and more. Thanks for the quiet peace permeating from the blog: walk thru the woods; dancing looking for Matt; the calm of Bach; the colorful hands…Blessings.

Thank you Bruce for this blog as it had a lot of excellent ideas on how we deal with life via dance, music and song and the quote by Einstein was a powerful one to remember each day. We are waiting like some many seasonal residents to get the application that we all have to fill out in order to open up our cottage and quarantine for 14 days( ug,ug) but we will do it. Hope to see you for lunch once we get to our home away from home. Murdock

Bruce, Thank you so much for making my day! In these hard times, it is so wonderful to read uplifting stories and inspirational videos. The dance video with Matt was especially fun! I laughed and cried when I watched it. Wouldn’t it be great if we could all spread that kind of joy everywhere? The times would indeed be brighter! Thank you again!

I look forward to your Blog. every week. It is my time to sit back and relax and enjoy the ride. It is very uplifting. I loved the dance video so much I replayed it and tried to dance with them. You always include interesting articles and informative articles as well. Love the phots of “Millie”. It looks like everything has really greened up at PEI. Yesterday we mowed our lawn for the first time this year. Thanks Bruce for helping to keep us all positive.
Blessings, Audrey

Best of luck on your reopening Bruce. We congratulate all Islanders for really controlling the virus. I wish we were at the same level in Ontario…a long ways to go yet.
