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.

@johnbishop Everyone can laugh at this. My way of surviving Covid-19 is to have joy that I finally have my surgery scheduled for June 9th and all the tests I did on Monday came out ok. Also, my husband can be in the hospital with me and in my room. Before he could not be in the hospital or my room. They just okayed it last week. I don't have time to think of Covid-19. Just thankful that the MN governor opened up elective surgery. The surgeon thought at first they would have to go through my front and back for the spinal fusion from T-10 to my pelvis. After what my tests showed they only have to go through my back. So, I have faith and joy and don't have time to think of Covid 19. I'm not saying everyone to have surgery to feel better about the nasty Covid-19. Just count your blessings that you are here on earth.
