Outdoors is better with COVID-19.
But in a Canadian climate it means being cold and outdoors for a good 5 months of the year.
So this Senior tried to be proactive.
Bought new skates. Just need the helmet and other protective equipment.
So will be trying skating again after many years off the ice.

So bags of goodies to my grandchildren as I normally do.
No trick or treating door to door in York Region.
I had made goodie bags for neighbourhood kids. So I will try to find them and give
personally.
The reason is I do not want to eat all the candies.
Of course pumpkins everywhere helps with the mood of restrictions.
Make pies. Use the seeds or do as I do- I leave the pumpkin in my garden for the little animals to eat as well as compose back in the soil.
A time to wear masks too. Since we have been wearing masks for months, it seems a little redundant doesn't it?

10,001. Just a number.
But when linked to COVID it takes on a sad meaning.
Lives lost connected to love ones.
It is the reason we stay safe, wash our hands, wear masks and limit contacts.
We should remember them.

What does this mean?
What does it mean to you?
Taking the thoughts out of your head into the hands? Maybe??
Many crafters find working with hands brings a sense of purpose, doing, creating, having a project at the end.
Gardeners feel the same way. Digging, planting, seeing the beauty of their garden.
Writers write. The printed word. The prose, the narrative, the report, the essay, the short story, the book, the article.
Cooks and bakers make meals and treats.
Hands touch. Hands hurt. Hands can accomplish many things. Or just sit quietly in your lap!

I feel relieved that my recent prayers were answered. God gave me what I needed.
So I feel I need to mellow and not ask for too much more right now.
I try to make my prayers, prayers of thanks.
Keep my family safe.
Give me strength to keep going.
But I have this sense not to be greedy and burden him.

Our children are doing it.
Following rules.
Wearing masks.
But mostly just glad to be back to school.
Learning. Playing. Being social.
Resilience prevails.
Somehow this Nana knew they could do it.
