We’ve been cooped up now for weeks and, while restrictions are loosening, we’re still stuck with time on our hands.

But, on the plus side, confinement has given us opportunities. These are things I’ve done:

  • Learned technologies like Zoom, Skype, Facebook video, Facetime, and so many others.
  • Attended online tours, lectures, and conferences from the comfort of home in my pj bottoms.
  • Read new authors and re-read favorites.
  • Watched documentaries, movies, and series and revisit favorites.
  • Discovered new hobbies and lots of new recipes.
  • Toured familiar and faraway places online.
  • Organized and sorted junk drawers, pantries, garages, closets, bookshelves, photos, etc.
  • Work in my yards weeding and trimming. Planted flowers and mini-gardens.

COVID-19 continues to lurk about. New cases are on the rise again. We need to do what we can to curb the continued spread.

Practicing social distancing and wearing masks is a major part. Staying home is still the safest.

Still, finding energy and focus during the coronavirus chaos can be hard. Staying positive and keeping yourself occupied is a key to getting through.

Maybe you haven’t been able to do some of the things on my list above yet. Why not try your hand at a few?
