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.

Apparently the photo I'm trying to upload is to big. If anyone is interested in seeing it, I would be more then willing to show it to you.

There is a fire in close distance to my city. The strong wind of 40 plus miles an hour did not help. The helicopter and water carrying planes are grounded because of the wind. So far 60,000 residents in my city have been evacuated. Sitting tight and hope the wind dies down so the fire department and rescue planes can do their job. I can smell smoke inside my house. No walk today!

So sorry to hear the fires continue to plague all of you. As my daughter says almost daily "20 20 go away! Nobody wants you to stay!"

My son and I are up here in my daughter's place. Our area is in pre evacuation area. If things get better, he will go home and I'll stay at my daughter's until this weekend. Thx for all your good wishes. I've lived in CA for decades and this is the first fire that's that close to my home.
