exploring!
Because there's very little traffic I can hear birdsong.

Yoga classes being offered online let me have that sense of community from sharing the practice.

The farmers market still happens, letting me get what I'm sure is the best produce on the planet.

I have fresh cut flowers brightening up my dining table.

Fresh thyme smells heavenly.


What keeps you happy, optimistic or is a bright spot in your day?

Please keep this thread positive. No bickering.

Watching Spring emerge, the rain clouds rolling over the hills in front of me, the flock of wild pigeons circling around never happy with the tree they choose....

19 days since I left New Orleans on my drive to deliver my wife's old car to Miami!

Left Santa Rosa March 3rd.

8th day since I flew back from Miami, self quarantining as best I can, all good so far.

Lucky for us we love to cook, always a full freezer, and bake our own bread and close family all lives within a mile so at least get to see them a few times a week.

From 15+ feet away of course! :laughing

At this very moment Sonoma County, which started social distancing early, is, (fingers crossed), looking pretty good from today's snapshot.

Yesterday I helped with Stream Aid 2020 on Twitch, where we raised $2.5mm over 12 hours for the WHO's Solidarity Response Fund for COVID-19 with performers like John Legend, Garth Brooks, Young The Giant, Cole Swindell, Diplo, DJ Steve Aoki, The Head and the Heart, Silversun Pickups, Bastille, Lindsay Sterling, Mumford and Sons, Halestorm, Barry Gibb, Charlie Puth, The Lumineers, and many others. Most were single members of the band performing from isolation, some had band members come to visit for the stream, each was a unique peek into the lives and homes of these performers.

Being able to do something that helped from the self-quarantine of my own home office, to see these artists performing live- handling their own tech, sometimes staring into the camera with ten seconds of dead air while someone tells them "yeah, you're live buddy" over the phone, sometimes dying mid-stream because they wanted to close the Twitch chat because it distracted them... so they disconnected their stream- was unique and amazing to me. It was truly "coming together, but staying apart" in the most modern way possible.

TBH I cried a lot all day, just at how beautiful and meaningful the two or three songs these artists had the chance to perform really was.

Charlie Puth, not realizing he's live in front of 100k+ people:

Being grateful for all the things going well today


I get a text message from a cousin every now and then, giving me advice he's heard or about scams or rumors. It's his way of reaching out to his circle, and I try to respond with humor and let him know not to worry about me

Seeing the Strawberry Delivery Service that supplies essentials to old folks pull into the driveway! :afm199
Watching the hummingbirds hit the sugar water.
Occasional zen and motorcycle maintenance in the garage.
My neighbors text at 10:30 that I left the garage door open, again.

:laughing:rofl

Over the decades I must have done that a half a dozen times here.

Often with the light on and as many as four motorcycles in the one car garage.

All with keys in them of course! :laughing

At least your neighbors call! :thumbup
