Stay Home – Do something

Staying home, do something. I am sitting and writing this blog. I lost a good friend to the Coronavirus. This article is about helping others at this sad time. Television is not the only answer while staying home. Opportunity is here. Make something from the experience that we are dealing with. I am 79 years old, Type II diabetic, and had cancer twice. I know that I am at high risk for the coronavirus. Staying at home is prudent, even when the news is overkill. Sitting to long in front of the TV hurts my back. Tragic things are happening. We need to take control it or it controls us.

Make Adjustments

We need to learn how to make adjustments in our lives. Ability to make adjustments is different for each individual. We need to do something different. Staying home is a large adjustment for many of us. My adjustment is different than most people. I have less doctors appointments and have more time to myself. It isn’t all peaches and cream. I love to camp, but that is on hold.

Honey Do

To stay home and do something doesn’t mean just fill idle time. There is lots of things that you can do. Use your mind. Benefit yourself. Do something that helps yourself or someone else. Give yourself a moment and make a plan. Do you have a goal. If not, write one down. Spend some of this time doing home repairs. If you don’t have the tools or material, call a friend and see if you can borrow them. Make sure that you replace them later. Be a hero to your wife or husband. Do something for your spouse that they have wanted to do (the honey do list). Don’t let fear paralyze you.
