A New Way of Wine Tasting....I Guess.
A week ago, our Sunday Wine Tasting included a drive in the country....
...which led us to a secluded vineyard tucked between the Idaho mountains.
We enjoyed sampling a delicious variety of cheeses and wines.
Now I'm contemplating if this is what our next excursion may look like!
(The closet and bathroom literally crack me up!!
But I guess if I had kids at home I maaayyy have done this??? LOL!!!)
I started "Spring Break" from school this weekend, after, like so many of you I'm sure, a week of drastic change in lifestyle and routines. Spending time working from home in virtual conference rooms like this felt WEIRD!!!
We as educational leaders in our community are committed to creating a plan to provide our students and families with consistent educational routines and support during what is swiftly becoming a new normal of isolation. The enormity of our social situation and it's impacts on not only our students education, but the role we we continue to play as community leaders is quickly changing. I joked in conversation to my mom, that when I finally do return to work, it will feel more like a worker for the Red Cross as we may be called upon by the Govoner to for example, provide childcare resources for our first responders. Either way, I'm all in. I think it's important we ban together with grace and love as we all start to navigate this new normal.
But! Social Distancing...Doesn't Mean Isolation.
It just means new ways of doing what we love to do...and some of the new habits I'm thinking could be to our advantage! For example, below is a copy of the new "health and safety" guidelines sent out from our local golf course. Bullet number two: "All cups will be raised 1 inch above the ground." I'm thinking is THIS could be a huge advantage to my short game, as now when we putt we only need to "hit the cup" and not get the damn ball exactly "in the hole". I'm seriously thinking: "Sweet!" (Mom, you'll have to share these with Dad!)
So this afternoon WILL find us getting some fresh air, sunshine and exercise...on the golf course!
With a low immune system, I'm of course taking many precautions to keep myself healthy and safe. But I can not live indoors in complete isolation, as I especially love being outdoors!
So I hope you'll stop by the ol' blog here knowing I'll be posting more often. I'll share ways you too CAN take good care of yourself in hopes to inspire you to create a healthy life for yourself during a time that you may be feeling like you have no control at all and isolation is real.
With SMILES! Val
