Today is April 22, 2020.  Day 42 of social distancing due to COVID19 pandemic.  I took this picture of the what the sky looked like on the first day I was on voluntary quarantine. 

On March 17 I drove back from Nashville, TN to East End, AR.  The social distancing was beginning and I wanted to get back to my family in Arkansas. The 16th was my Aunt Mary's 94th birthday.  She is my birth mother's sister and I wanted to spend her birthday with her despite the warnings.  But on Tuesday I knew I had to head home before it got worse.  

It has been interesting to be on social distancing because I am a very active person who enjoys family, people and traveling.  All of that has come to an abrupt halt not only for me but for so many.  There are so many things we cannot do now, so I am focusing my energy on what I can do.

1.  Read my Bible more

2. Be with my husband more (he does not travel with me)

3. Cook more (ugh!!) not my favorite thing to do but necessary during these times.

4. Quilting more

5. Reading more

6. Just sitting outside and enjoying nature more.

And most of all thankful for each day that God blesses me and my family with.  May all of you be safe also.
