I checked this book out of the library. It should be required reading. For how to get help when you’ve had COVID and the fatigue and brain fog have persisted long after the virus went away.

Individuals written about in the book lost their jobs and often became disabled. Even with this outcome the author James C. Jackson, PsyD offers hope for thriving not just surviving with long haul COVID.

Reading the book could bring on survivor’s guilt for those of us whose bout with COVID was a one-and-done deal–so far at least. Being on the lucky end of the luck of the draw I think mandates that we use our fortune in life to advocate for health, wealth, and happiness for others as well as ourselves.

Are you experiencing a heat wave? Keep cool and rest with the air or fan blowing. In a coming blog entry I will talk about the idea that people who have had COVID are becoming disabled.

We need in this post-COVID New World to practice what I preach: “No judgments.”

Those of us with long haul COVID symptoms should be given compassion not told we’re lazy and should get up and be active.

Each of us is doing the best we can with what we were given.

I want this blog to be positive and life-affirming.
