3/26/20 – Building family and community connections (even with the birds!)

My son is here with me and I’m taking intentional steps to connect with him (he’s 15, so not always interested in hanging with mom!) – yesterday we played chess (he won, of course, but I did better than I ever have!), and we put together a stool that I had ordered several weeks ago.  We work pretty well together, I’d say!

I also added suet to my birdfeeder stations!  It made me think about how in the past I couldn’t afford to feed the birds (good bird seed isn’t cheap!), and it made me grateful how far I’ve come in the last 10-15 years and I can now afford birdseed πŸ™‚

Also did a social distancing walk with my friend and neighbor, and connected with other neighbors.  It’s so nice to know my neighbors and know we can work together.  I also called another neighbor who is elderly and alone and my plan is to call him every other day.

Sunshine today, and warmer temps!  There ‘s still snow on the driveway, but It’s slowly melting πŸ™‚

Be happy and healthy!
