Summary

From the scientists to the school board, no one really knows for sure what the next best step is in the midst of this continuing coronavirus epidemic — and those who thought they knew for sure before keep changing their minds.

We have to make decisions without all the facts, with a rapidly changing landscape of advice, and with fewer certainties we’ve come to rely upon. Now more than ever it’s essential to remember what we already know and practice doing just the next right thing. Listen in.

0:00.0	I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing. You're listening to episode 137.
0:07.6	This is a podcast about making decisions but also about making a life. If you struggle with
0:13.5	decision fatigue, chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes away from the constant
0:18.7	stream of information and is sometimes delightful but also distracting hum of entertainment,
0:24.0	you're in the right place for a thoughtful story, a little prayer, and a simple next right step.
0:29.8	Even as we continue to learn more about this coronavirus that has drastically changed our
0:34.4	way of life, we also acknowledge there's much we still don't know and we have more questions
0:39.6	than answers. From the scientist to the school board, no one really knows for sure what the next
0:45.3	best step is. And those who thought they knew for sure before? Well, they keep changing their minds.
0:52.0	Still, we continue to move forward. We're tasked with having to make decisions without all the facts,

1:24.7	wearing face masks, gathering with safe social distance in mind, and spending more time with our
1:29.6	families. Maybe time together has inspired you to take a trip through time. You can learn about
1:35.6	your family's history with Ancestry.com. With an Ancestry DNA test, you learn exactly where your
1:40.7	ancestors lived and you can trace paths of your recent family members from place to place and
1:45.2	learn not only where they moved but why they moved there. Through Ancestry's family treat, I learned
1:50.9	that my maternal grandfather enlisted in the army just one week before Pearl Harbor. And I even
1:57.1	found out his exact height and weight at the time. Maybe you'll learn something interesting about
