Wow - its a whole new world isn’t it? I want to be light in my posts - but it’s tough right? I am in a very fortunate position of having a good job where working from home is the norm. I have an income and I know I am very fortunate. How are all of you? How are you dealing with all of this?

I am sending you happy pictures in between this rather gloomy post only to help to inspire you.

As most of you know I am in Canada where we are dealing very differently, from what I understand, from the way you are dealing with it in the US. My blog has never been political but I am curious to know how you feel about things in your own countries. Please comment and let me know.

Again, I want to keep this light, and just offer you opportunities to be creative in what I consider this downtime. I hope that the images I share just inspire you to be more creative or just try things you have not tried before.

Take a class, buy a piece of art to inspire yourself every day. Use a journal to document how this new world has affected your life.

If you are in a place where covid has affected you emotionally I invite you to find something to occupy your mind - something that can fill that void with something new. Art is a great healer. Go explore online - look for artists to inspire you. I can only offer what I do myself but in thinking about this in my next post I promise to send you links to artists who inspire me. Make the time worthwhile. Do something you have never done, make art a solace.

Let me know how you are doing. I am listening.
