It's OK, Saturday!

Hey, Soggy Saturday!

You. You! What a rainy day! But, it's OK. I wasn't going out anyway. I'm enjoying myself inside while you make it chilly and wet outside. 'Getting my Netflix fix!

Thanks!

Freaky Friday, Or Switcharoo!

Have you ever seen the movie, Freaky Friday? It's about a mom and a daughter who woke up one day to find that they had switched bodies. They couldn't switch back, so they were forced to live each other's lives. I think that just happened in nature.

Winter wanted to make a comeback! He told Spring to step aside and let him have the spotlight on center stage. As I look outside my window, I wonder if it's really mid-April. It looks more like early December.

In a way, it's kind of a cool rewind. For a while, it makes me think that we can turn back time. What if we can find that place of health and safety, work and play and more importantly, peace of mind?

Think about something strange that has happened to you in the past week. Was it funny? Did it offer you a good laugh? Was it a problem that needed to be solved? Consider sharing the story with a friend or family member. No matter what, stay strong!

Happy Good Friday! Chag Sameach!

Granted, we are experiencing some very sad and terrible times. It is hard to be happy when people are sick, bills are due, and there seems to be only darkness at the end of the tunnel. However, if we search our hearts and souls, I am sure that no matter the day, whatever our religious beliefs, we will find that every day is a great day to be joyous and thankful!

Here are some highlights from this week. Be sure to let me know yours. 

I...


talked with a few friends every day for a couple of hours


                                  watched a lot of movies on Netflix
  (pretended to be at the drive-in movie theater when it got dark outside)


cooked more tasty meals than yucky ones


                                   cleaned a section of my room (that's a start!)


          focused on positive, peaceful things to 
      alleviate anxiety and promote productivity

"Spring Break" 2020

Where will you go during your spring break? I know, that's kind of a silly question since we are in #quaranteam. But, it is not an impossible thing to do. Join me in letting stories of all kinds take us to fantastic and faraway places like Hogwarts, Narnia, Neverland, New York City and more!

Hump Day, April Fools' Day, Or Whatever You Want To Call It Wednesday

It's been a week since my last post. I have experienced many positive things in the past seven days. Amidst this pandemic, I hope something good, exciting and noteworthy has happened to you since then, too! 

Let's see...

I have been making some pretty tasty meals lately--baked chicken and broccoli with a cheese sauce, lamb chops with rice cauliflower and northern bean soup with smoked pork. Yum!

A friend in Michigan keeps me in stitches (laughing until my belly aches) with the Tik Tok videos she texts me all hours of the day and night

I reconnected with a friend that I met about 10 years ago. She is planning to start crocheting (I've been crocheting for over 10 years!) to pass the time. Yay! 

It's been three weeks since schools were closed and we were told to shelter in place. I have been able to adapt and accept the circumstances because I have adjusted my mindset. Amidst this pandemic, I have realized that I may be inside the house, but I am not alone. I am spending quality time with myself. I hope you can come to this realization, too!
