This year has been extremely stressful. Is there a place nearby you are able to drive to and enjoy a nice view or nature? I'm a heart transplant patient and often jump in my car and just drive. I live in Tucson and the mountains are all around us so I'll try to find a route to those amazing peaks. Or I might take a spin around our small downtown and the university. It helps clear my head and provides a needed outlet for all the inside isolation. I also zoom with my sisters every week. There are six of us and we share 16 children and 14 grandchildren. Lots to talk about. I hope you are able to find a way to find blessings in every day even when it's difficult.

@estrada53 We haven't done that. I wanted to go to a town about 10 miles away to get our outdoor wreaths but my husband couldn't see the need for that so we went to a place very close by.

I don't like to go far because I have urinary incontinence and I sure do not want to be using public restrooms. It would be nice to take a drive to the coast but that's an hour each way and when we got there we would of course get out of the car so that would definitely be out.
The walking trail I was using is about 7 miles away or so and goes through a wooded area and was my outlet. Now that it has snow on it and we haven't had enough warm weather to melt it I can't go there. I do talk to my sister and a couple of friends frequently.

Thanks for the suggestions.
JK
