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.

Are you in NY too? I'm living the same weather. Woke to 30° and snow covering.

@robbie1956, your azalea is so pretty and full of blooms!! Mine are mostly stems.
I cut this azalea bloom and a rhododendron because I was worried about the freeze last night and wanted more time me to enjoy them.

Saw cows near Allentown. Checking into shared senior care- and too much not a people person even though it’s one person. And perhaps too much an urban gal- walk everywhere. It’s hard deciding.
