We are nearly a month in and who knows how much longer lockdowns and quarantines will last so keep checking in digitally and distancing socially.

The fourteenth of April 2020
goatsIf you find it hard to stay positive take a moment and think of something in your life that brings you joy – whether that is your hour of sunshine, your family, or binge watching junk television. Always keep an eye out for silver linings even in the most difficult of times.

goatsIt is always so lovely to prepare and enjoy a meal with people you love. I hope you all had an opportunity this weekend to share something delicious with those you care about.
The twelfth of Easter 2020
goatsMy grandmother always said that is rains on Easter. I spent every Easter with her until she passed on fifteen years ago. I have a lot of happy memories of that tradition – we would make the seven hour drive and spend a week or so with her right when spring began. However, if she were still alive we would have to break the tradition this year. Although it’s sad to miss out on big holidays with friends and families, the more we distance the more likely we will get to resume our traditions or make new or better ones once this is all over. If you celebrate, I hope you have a lovely Easter.

goatsI have found that during lockdown some days it is nice to keep it casual and other days it’s refreshing to do my hair and get myself ready like I’m headed out. I’m also a fan of the “Zoom mullet” which refers to professional above the waist and then casual sweats or yoga pants. Either way, do what makes you feel best!

goatsMake the best of the holiday weekend – ring up family and do something fun inside. Enjoy a little sunshine and next year we can get together for the usual Easter/spring festivities.

goatsMake sure if you are taking advantage of getting outdoor exercise that you maintain a six foot distance from other walkers, runners and cyclists!
The seventh of April 2020
goatsSocial distancing, lockdowns and quarantines are difficult for all. To stay connected, perhaps hold onto hope and find solidarity amongst people across the globe, a Facebook group has emerged called View From My Window. The rules are simple – you post where you are in the world and the view from your window – as we are all must stay inside as much as possible. People from all over the world have posted lovely pictures, but yesterday someone posted one and has kindly given me permission to use it here.
I am pleased to introduce you to Zippy from Killiechronan, Isle of Mull, Scotland and his brother George. Their human friend, Jean O’Donnell shared the first photo and sent along a few others to share.
The sixth of April 2020
goatsMy whole life I have been a square peg in a round hole. I always marched to the beat of my own drum, I always looked for the road less traveled, and never tried too hard to fit in. I saw these quirks as my strengths in life, and many times they have been strengths and are what makes me who I am.
However, if there was any time to bravely be a sheep, it is now. Listen to the scientists, listen to the health experts, wash your hands, stay inside, wear a mask, keep away from others and you will save lives. It is that simple. Your time to shine, to party, to interact, to hug and embrace will come again, so long as we all do our part now.
