Recuperation journey: The 3 Rs of getting through this difficult time

*I'm sure there are more than three, but these are the ones that first came to mind.

Reconnect: I believe we would all feel better by taking at least a few minutes a day to reconnect with nature. It can be quite calming.

Review: Look around you - take stock of your blessings. We all have problems but we also have many things for which to be grateful. Review them in your mind! 
Relax: Do what it takes to fight fearful feelings. Walk around your neighborhood, participate in an online exercise class, listen to music, or do whatever puts you in a less anxious mood. 
I enjoy going outside and taking photos of birds, sunrises, sunsets, and more.
Yesterday it was the bright yellow forsythia in our yard that caught my eye. 



Stay safe and healthy!

'Turnback Tuesday' 3 years ago: Something to distract us from all this isolation


April 4, 2017 at 4:15 PM 

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of the monument that marks the first Green in the City of Derby. 
"Founders Common," as that Green is known, is flanked by Academy Hill Rd. and Clark Ave. The monument was erected by the Daughters of the American Founders and Patriots in 1904.

Thanks go to the Derby Public Library staff for  sharing interesting local history!

*And thanks go to Facebook memories for providing this today.
