Benched

 So much of the world has been "benched" due to Covid restrictions, 

but happily we've been able to go for walks. 

The Christmas lights and decorations are both fun and lovely.

Are you finding painted rocks lying around? Did you make any?

Mom was able to purchase a beautiful puzzle 

created by one of her favorite author illustrators, Susan Branch. 

I was there with her for every moment, piece by piece.

I have my own advent calendar that has treats inside!

Shopping with masks and social distance rules made 

Christmas shopping quite different. 

The Child swag definitely decked the halls of the malls. 

 

Dad spent most of the month watching the bullish stock market 

go up and down due to shut downs and closures.

 

Have you been able to social distance-ly see some friends?

Mom got to go caroling (masked) around our neighborhood!

 

Have you seen any sunshine? It's been fleeting!

Have you read any good books?

PLEASE:

Have you had anything yummy?

Have you had any difficult moments this month? 

Sometimes you have to let things go.      

Mom had to leave behind some colored glass 

that had become frozen inside the sand.

Have you given some things away?

Some things are meant to be shared.

Especially Christmas goodies.

Have you done anything silly lately?

It's a good stress reliever!

Are you keeping up with personal hygiene?

(If you don't know this answer ask a housemate.

If you live alone-do the SNL underarm test.)

Have you made any new (or old) discoveries?

Have you done anything crafty or artistic?

Mom used her beach combing treasures - plus some buttons to create a Nativity!

Hark! The herald angels sing!

Did you decorate your home with any holiday cheer?

We hope you are all doing well in your own home, tweet homes.

Or in your high rise dwellings.

2020 sure seemed longer than this...

Fly away 2020 and Covid 19. 

We will not miss you. 

PAWS and think of someone you could call to say hello to or send a letter.

Connect.

If you can't physically go anywhere, go there with your mind, body, and soul.

PEACE BE WITH YOU.

Happy New Year!

I hope you get a calendar 

THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO FILL WITH FUN ACTIVITIES!

P.S. Did you see some pretty site over the holidays?

Did you take some time to reflect on your life?

Did you send/get any gifts?

NO, we did NOT go on a road trip. 

I just went to the vet for my check up.

Are you keeping up with your medical needs?

Did you play some games?

Do some crafts?

Have some puzzling moments of the playful kind?

Did you overeat?

I sure did.

And since Dad bought a SCALE for Christmas 

there's gonna be more accountability around here...
