Hello Readers,
Status check: How are all of you feeling? How are all of your loved ones coping during these tumultuous times?
If you need assistance navigating through this "new normal" don't be afraid to ask for help. You have lots of support in your friends, family, colleagues, and there are many resources to help all of us.
Try not to feel helpless as you are self quarantined. The uncertainty of the future can be daunting, but we can use this time to be grateful for what we do have. Even if the world seems "closed" there is still plenty to do outside like taking a meditative walk or gardening - and inside, be sure you are getting plenty of exercise and drinking a lot of water.
What activities are you doing at home to keep your spirits up?
Try to use this time as much needed me-time - have a home spa day, and treat yourself to some pampering. Learn a language online or how to play an instrument, with all of the tutorials available on YouTube, you will keep busy while keeping your brain active and focused on something other than the news.
This is also a perfect time to overhaul the home with a deep spring cleaning, or de-cluttering and donating items you are not using anymore.
Lots of museums, galleries, and zoos are offering free streaming services - check out https://artsandculture.google.com/ for some ideas.
We are eating and napping as per usual, and happy that Grigio is still visiting us daily and reminding us what we are grateful for: warm home, electricity, running water, plenty of food, friends, and family.
Stay safe, Readers.
Purr & Paw,
-Stivali. 🐾
