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.

I will post a link to the community fb page here. We are in a kinda valley, but if we have a clear night, should be able to see something of this. Thank you for sending the info along!

Oh, and I forgot to mention elk in our area. Not to mention the two-legged wildlife!

Just went out into the 84 degree heat and picked the low hanging fruit from the wild raspberry bushes in the backyard. I had a yikes moment when a daddy longlegs jumped on my glasses. Will go nice on our brunch - homemade from scratch pancakes.
