It’s amazing how even during lockdown Monday rolls around again and feels like…a Monday! It’s good to stick to routines even if you have to create some new ones due to current events.

The seventeenth of April 2020
goatsOne year ago today, my family and I were traveling home from our spring holiday. Travel worn and whatnot, I shared a picture of a goat that I took in 2011 when I lived in Delhi, India. To think of how now we are staying in place and haven’t really left our neighborhood in nearly a month is pretty crazy. Sometimes all you need is already right around you. However, I am holding onto hope that we will have future adventures, near and far. Also, I am pretty sure this goat knew the secrets of the universe. Worth sharing again!

goatsEven if you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19, make sure to keep practicing self care and go extra easy on yourself. Lockdown is not easy but there are some silver linings here and there, plus the hope of a better world once the danger is over.

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

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.

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.
