Currently waiting for the virus numbers to spike and then level off, here we are at Day 2 of Quarantine.

Let’s talk about the good things happening. Fitness instructors are offering free, live streaming, online classes. Keeping a fitness routine, whatever that looks like for you, is a game changer for mental health and anxiety. The gym I attend is also suspending payments for the current month that they are closed. In addition, they are offering some live streaming classes and a catalog of classes online.

People are outside doing yard work and inside keeping busy with other activities they might not have time to do. Yesterday during a walk, I noticed lots of driveway and sidewalk chalk art. I heard people practicing musical instruments as I walked by. People are putting “suns” on their front doors as part of a homeschooling scavenger hunt activity. The birds are singing and very active. Trees are budding. Get outside!

In my own home, we’ve been doing some baking and have had a family game night of Monopoly. (Which still resides on the dining room table because no one can finish Monopoly in one night). I had a “happy hour” with two friends via Zoom, just so we could catch up and see faces. I also did a yoga class via Zoom.

We are hanging in there! Stay well.
