Please #StayAtHome - It saves lives.

Ambulance sounds r more frequent & each siren sound makes me sad. My heart goes out 2 all those affected & my gratitude 2 all those emergency personnel everywhere.

Trying 2 keep busy - art & chores.

My BFF just sent me this. It helped.

Day 15

I went 2 sleep & woke up keeping all those affected by #COVID19 in any way-emergency workers+their families;those fighting 4 their health+their families;those worried abt income & having the basics-in my thoughts/prayers.

Trying to practice mindfulness.

Coloring in these jellyfish made me smile. I was imagining a cartoon of them dancing & modeling their ‘haute couture’ designs.

Day 20

So apparently my favorite shirt is the one everyone considers a throw away b/c it's got holes in it. However, I'm holding onto it b/c it's comforting and cozy. Do you have one of these as well?

Stay safe.
