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.

Occasionally I get to see double rainbows here in NM but photos never do it justice.

@johnbishop I don't have a picture but here is one of my favorite quotes. Letting go isn't about having the courage to release the past ---Its about having the wisdom to embrace the present Steve f Araboli

@fiesty76 How funny! I didn't see the dog run around the house, but on the bed. It's amazing how he/she got them in the mouth exactly as we would wear them. Thank you. You made my day.
