Mom posted my Winnie the Pooh impersonation
TEN TIMES at
www.donateaphoto.com
during a FUNdraising surge
for cancer survivors.
Please join her in posting there!
Life is full of slippery slopes...
places where you think
you are safe,
but are not.
Mom found it out
the hard way recently
by slipping on the stairs.
She got banged up pretty badly.
Ice, meds, and rest are helping her recovery.
Of course the majority of our world
has had to STOP their normal activity.
The Covid 19 virus pandemic
has really made life as we know it
dramatically different.
Be careful where you get your information.
There are people doing bad things online
by creating virus filled links under headings
you may think are safe. They are not.
So only go to the CDC for your information!

Take advice from Barbie.
Just sit quietly and breathe.
As it is when water flows over rocks,
meditation may have bumps and ripples of difficulty,
but just keep trying to find the calm.

Thank you to those

We are thankful.
Are you taking some time to be creative?
Even if your work has ramped up
take some time
to express yourself with art!

If you have a pet
in quarantine with you
use this time to SNUGGLE more!
Take some extra naps during this time of shelter.
If you take a walk do it close to home
and maintain the 6 feet between others rule.
(Some photos on the blog were taken before the quarantine.)
Look up! Look down!
Are you noticing the little things around you?
(Let Mom know if you find her other earring...)
You may have more time to make your eating choices
are you making healthy ones?
(But are you also gifting yourself with some treats?)
Home cooking can be tasty.
But not being able to
relax inside a restaurant is hard.

Let's hope we can get back to eating out
and supporting our economy again soon.
Support any places with take out opions!

Mom misses thrifting.
It's been wet here.
Lots of mud.
But Mom is glad because than more people are
STAYING HOME.
Please people.
Short walks-close to home!
Away from others!
NOT side by side close to a neighbor
or someone you don't live with!

Mom had plans to travel earlier in the month
but the coronavirus pandemic cancelled that adventure.
but the coronavirus pandemic cancelled that adventure.
Her bags were packed.
She was ready to go.
Her Traveling Pants were excited.
She wanted to buy some touristy swag.
She was going to wear these necklaces
on St. Patrick's Day
after being beachside with her parents for a week.
That didn't happen so she gave the
blinking light jewelry to some neighborhood kiddos.

Mom was going to use her visit
to ask her mommy
questions about her life.
It's hard to remember others' stories
so Mom was going to use her
computer and phone to document
what she heard.
Hopefully the trip can be rescheduled.

They got cancelled too!

There are things you probably shouldn't do while sheltering at home.
Maybe try an old family recipe!
It's time to remember family.
Is your neighborhood putting out things for children to see?
When you go out for your walk
are you seeing some chalk?
Exercise at home.
Put on some tunes and dance!
Are you drinking enough healthy liquids?
Are you watching shows that empower and charm you?
Before this crisis is over BILLIONS of dollars will be lost.
Think of how YOU can make a difference to help others.
Think of how YOU can make a difference to help others.
You would normally be "out there" spending $.
DONATE IT
to a cause,
to artists of all kinds,
to a food bank.
GIVE what you are able.
And if you NEED HELP - ASK!!!
Look what my author buddy
Jen Pastiloff
(author of On Being Human)
has been doing.
And the musician Steve Moakler!
When we do get to go out again,
TIP heavily,
support the little bizs first
and donate to causes that will help
people survive this financial mess.

There's no one to see, far and wide.
The trains are EMPTY.
You may be feeling trapped.
But PLEASE
SAVE LIVES
STAY HOME
Watch the video Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago made.
It's firm but humorous.

I don't really understand what is going on.
I keep asking Mom and Dad,
Why are you staying in the home so much?
I keep asking Mom and Dad,
Why are you staying in the home so much?
No, seriously, why are you still HERE?
But they have told me
WE ARE
STAYING HOME
and
SAVING LIVES.
Just like He rose from the grave
we WILL RISE from these dark days.
Pray for those sick and in danger.
Pray for the families heartbroken by loss.
