Yes it’s a challenge isn’t it? What are you interested in or what skills do you have? Can you make/knit stuff for the homeless, that’s more meaningful as well as keeping you busy. I hope you find something you enjoy.

I am trying to google and brain storm.

I'm binge watching shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime, and then through iTunes I'm downloading podcasts by comedians, rose. They're free. In between I'm calling and talking to friends around the country, too.

Paint, draw, write, crochet, try cooking unknown recipes, take a free online course. Lots of the major universities and colleges offer free courses. Learn a foreign language, make personalized gift scrap books with your family and friend pictures, either actual photos or on computer and add personal memories and written stories to the pictures.. meditate in your yard and soak up sun and vitamin d. Learn to make mixed drinks like a bartender. Learn to play a musical instrument if you have one. Challenge a friend over the phone Orin email / text message to FaceTime and exercise together. Start working with you dog on behavior and fun tricks if you haven’t already. Sing! Dance! Read free books online. Get an online pen pal, or join a social or support group online.. etc etc etc good luck

I've been watching too much TV as well and reading for hours..... I need to think of something new as well

Evergreen you have some great ideas..... I think we're going to find an exercise 'class' on youtube to follow

Excellent Sun. I’m glad you are feeling better. Triple hugs

If you're an opera fan, the Metropolitan is running performances here - there may be a time difference depending on where you are, but they also have an on-demand app:

The Seattle Symphony has a Youtube channel with various pieces. They are quite good, and it might help some relax a bit:

For a change of pace, you can view various exhibits from the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California:

If you don't have a lot of craftstuff in the house, you can always make collages from paper and magazine cutouts which most people have lying around. Also, a lot of the hobby and craft store chains have Youtube channels which might help you pick something to try.

Hope this helps....

Thanx cliffskat!!!..... xo

Wow, cliffskat, those links to culture are great! I LOVE that Monterey Bay Aquarium link, especially.

I've been to the National Aquarium in Baltimore a couple of times. It's amazing, too.

Hi,
cool ideas thanks guys. Today I was listen to music but I have been sick for a few days and was only watching TV and sleep. I will try some of what is suggested. Thanks so much. You guys are the best

Thanks for the virtual tour information cliffskat! I'm checking it out right now!

Today, I made a boat. I had the things to make it for months now. I put it together and I will paint it another day. Because of what Evergreen said about learn a foreign language today I help someone through Duo to learn ASL. She is learning signing language. And Shakyinside asked if I can knit? so now I am trying to learn to crochet. Today was one of the best day thanks to all your suggestions. I even create a Cornoavirus Schedule from morning til bed time.

That's awesome rose07042k!
I've been working on coloring books and writing short stories. I LOVE putting texture and depth in the coloring book pictures. Mostly flowers and leaves. It's a lot of fun to play around with the colors too. Sometimes I make the flowers green and the leaves blue and purple.

Still working on my main hobby: my digital music collection. I've got 6 iPods and iTouches just for the sake of housing different song collections I've got. Today I added two songs: a live version of "Romeo and Juliet" by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits, and a live version of the old classic "The Weight" by the band that got its start as Bob Dylan's back up band, The Band. I love adding little tweaks to my digital music collection. I listen to them on my daily walks, it really helps me get out the door to make sure I get my exercise every day.
