Already, as restrictions ease here, I am feeling a pang of regret that I didn't do more to record it. The walk around our neighbourhood in the first two weeks of isolation was incredibly peaceful. I hope things are settling for you.

Use this time constructively. How do you want your life to look this time next year? That journey has to begin somewhere. " Thank you. And thank you for the post on enforced family time (the one before this one). While DH & I are not WFH, (being in essential industries - working as usual); we basically go to work, come home to farm, and do it all over again. And then on the weekends I'm helping our married DS2 & DDiL while she works at a CV-19 clinic, by watching their 3 little ones (ages 3.5, 2 & almost 1). yes it is as hard as you would imagine and as wonderful with lots of kisses and hugs and snuggles. I am blessed but dang! I have NO "Me Time." Sundays, if we are not watching Littles, I am catching up with whatever I did not get done on Saturday. I feel very stressed and then I'm ashamed of myself when I think of so many who are not seeing their Grandbabies and are furloughed or have lost their jobs. <br />Which is why I was inspired by your Photo Journal idea. For in a few years when the babies are bigger and this virus is just a memory. My garden, quilting, decorating, so much I want to do. Now is not the season, but it will come around again.<br />Again, thank you for your encouraging words. *hug*Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-82254021874441294122020-05-03T08:58:32.845+10:002020-05-03T08:58:32.845+10:00Hi Mimi, we all have our challenges that is for su...Hi Mimi, we all have our challenges that is for sure. If there was a resilience meter I think you'd smash it. You've been through a lot and continue to be a positive and generous person. I think a Youtube channel is a no brainer. It's the logical next step and would be a great vehicle for you to share you skills and wisdom. I feel like I watch more Youtube than TV these days. I have a number of subscriptions on things that interest me. Your idea of selling savings and style would be good. You have so many skills to share. That's a 'just do it' from me.
