Visual Escapes and Daily Inspirations: Share Yours

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Mar 16, 2020

Let's create a space to offer a daily reprieve.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of uncertainty and fear into our lives. Some of that fear and uncertainty can be caused by over thinking what is going on or unnecessarily worrying. So, I'm making sure I wash my hands frequently, not touching my face, staying away from social gatherings and all of the recommended guidelines to help avoid getting or spreading COVID-19 but it can be a little boring. I try to not watch news all day long while I'm in this self imposed captivity. I like to take pictures of birds and other creatures from my window as a welcome break.

I invite you to join me in sharing pictures, favorite poems, sayings, mottos, funny moments. Let's take a daily break together.

@lioness FYI. Watching news broadcast this am. Had a segment on the trickle down effect of the closure or destruction of our poultry and meat industry. The expert stated we could feel the effects in matter of weeks. We can live without meat. but do people want to? I sent my husband to the store to stock up on frozen chicken tenderloins. Plain meat. I use in stir fry which I eat regularly. Not in panic, but thinking ahead a bit. It’s that darn rollercoaster ride. virgo .
