•Hanging with my sister (even on the phone) , and other family (just visited for Easter in the 'burbs), and friends (also by phone, or f2f). I enjoy texting, too, but I prefer hearing their voices. 🩷
•Listening to music.
•Getting lost in making art, or doing crafts (for decades!)
•Looking at Nature Landscape photos.
•Reading
-----------------------------------
So just about all of that is at home.
Then there is traveling...
I'm in a Assisted Living place. We're on a superblock so in the interior we have a backyard full of trees, which are greening up now. 🥰 Even a few flowering ones. An elevator, and short walk away.
I'm out there for a half hour to like 2 hrs almost every day when it's not raining, or up to about 92°F and dry. Take my phone, sketch pad, a book (physical or e book) yarn craft. Smell the chlorophyll, enjoy the green colors, the breeze.
•Used to live near various sized public parks I could walk to for 90% of my life. Not near one at all now, so the backyard is a godsend!
I still will travel on occasion to one of the biggest bc of the greenery, the view of The Hudson River, and the front gardens 🥰
packed with a succession of Spring, Summer, Early Fall flowers!
And my sis lives right near another big park, so we go there.
There's a gorgeous park they built just off the Hudson in ? '22 I've yet to visit.
•Art Museums on pay-what-wish or free days. That's been reduced by being out of habit bc of hiding st home away from covid for 3- 4 years!
So I need to get back to it.
•Idk if I'm going to be leery of big events for the rest if my life bc covid. I live in NYC the home of Big Events! I guess in the very warm Late Spring, and not superhot of summer if i remember correctly it's affected badly by heat. [Will check]
Well this is a good reminder to myself about the away-from-home outings! 👍😄
