- Take a course online. I signed up for the Yale course “The Science of Well-Being on the Coursera website through the Edmonton Public Library.
- Baking. I have made pretzels, cheese bread, sourdough bread and buns. I had never used a sourdough starter before and I enjoyed using it.
- Get physical. I have made a commitment to log 10000 steps a day. I have a couple of routes and listen to podcasts while I am walking.
- Reconnect with old friends. Send a text or an email. I am on my own and I appreciate a quick text from friends that I haven’t heard from in some time.
- Family. Stay close to your family, organize weekly Zoom or FaceTime meetings.
- Car coffee. Pick up a coffee and meet a friend in a parking lot. You will see many interesting interactions in parking lots.
