How am I coping?
I continue to read & pray. I work remotely 22+ hours a week. I am intentionally keeping in touch with people to encourage and lift their spirits. I am reading more and watching more TV.
What, if any, new rituals have emerged for you?
Daily exercise, communion, making a conscious effort of using things in my pantry and refrigerator/freezer and puzzle building!
What is the worst part of the quarantine?
I miss in-person contact, going to Church, Boomer Lake and hugs! I haven’t been beyond my mailbox since 3/6/20.
What is the best part of the quarantine?
Connecting with “old friends” on Social Media
What am I most thankful for?
God’s love, good health; family; safety at home; FaceTimes, Zooms, calls, text messages, cards & letters between loved ones; helpers that have: retrieved mail, taken garbage out, brought me supplies I couldn’t get, assembled an incumbent bike, brought me treats, made home deliveries so I didn’t have to go to the market; the ability to continue to work remotely and hobbies! I enjoy bird- watching, gardening and rubber stamping greeting cards.
