Stay calm, is probably a phrase that you will hear plenty of times in the near future.  With the COVID-19 virus, hitting the globe, we must care for ourselves and our families.  We take so many things for granted and now its about our movements restricted, business slowing down, events and activities being cancelled, etc, etc.  It’s a lot to take in at this time.

So, what to do for ourselves and family? If you live in North America, our spring is right around the corner and with extra daylight, we can get outside. We don’t have to be housebound.  As long as you take precautions, like staying 2 meters away from others, and washing your hands with soap and water, you can enjoy the great outdoors.  Go for a hike, take the dog for a walk, just do some physical activity.  Doing things that you like will help the anxiety that you may be feeling. 

For me, it’s paper crafting.  While I like creating greeting cards, I also like to make scrapbooks.  So, I can get caught up on crafting those scrap pages. What are some of things that you never seem to get to ? Now is the time to get going on them. 

Right now, we are off to Paris and the Eiffel Tower.
