hi all i have a idea that I would like to share lately I have been on a news fast no news on any of my social media or TV. I have started to look forpositive covid updates from around the world. Like restrictions being lifted and no new cases being reported in weeks or survivor's numbers going up. I look at it like this if other countries got it before the USA did and they are already seeing positive changes, and we are behind  them by a few wks we shouldnt be that far behind. I think I read that so. Korea is doing much much better  as well as China so if any of you see or hear of any good advancements being made feel free to share in here it would really help me lift my spirits mentally as well as each others. We have to look for a light of hope please help me look. Love yall

The time away from school has given my grandchildren time to learn how to ride bikes and roller skates.

Great idea. One positive thing for me is I've been talking to dear friends I rarely get to speak to. Everyone has the time and the need to connect.

I started limiting my media exposure over a week ago. Just catch up on updates. I was drowning in links and TV about it. I follow the common sense restrictions, but I refuse to get paranoid. It’s one thing one day, another the next. Can drive you crazy. It’s bad enough everyone is avoiding others like threats. I feel like a leper when I have to get groceries. I understand the distance thing, but people won’t even talk to you!

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
