Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )

[Ripples]

Dear@Carlachris, Hold onto your pets. When the world turns sour, pets love us as we are. I have kangaroos every day in my yard. I sometimes wonder if they can sense whether I am sad or not. It is nice knowing that they have my whole yard to feed on. My house is small, my yard is big, so I have lots of grass. Developers keep chopping down the forest where the roos live, so in providing grass, I am contributing to the welfare of the critters. This makes me happy.

Hi @Ripples @Shaz51 @Carlachris @SJT63 @MDT and everyone stopping by on this thread today 🙂 

Just wanted to check in and see how you are all going? How have you been going with self care?

This week I added crocheting to my self care kit. I've always enjoyed knitting, and thought I'd try something new. The repetitiveness of knitting and crocheting has been very relaxing 🙂 

What have you been doing for self care this week?
