FIVE THINGS TO DO instead
of buying more groceries.
1. Have a dance party. Do you still know the lyrics?
2. Open your windows. (My neighbors know I still know the lyrics!)
In nursing school,
which I was in until I realized I’m very passy outy, I learned that WWII nurses
would sing, “fling high the windows!” as they worked with a lot of sick and
injured people under their care in tight places.
Light and air will reduce
germs and your stress level. I still sing this in my head as I open windows.
3. Do squats. You’ll come out of this with a great butt.
4. Send a silly video
to your friends. They’ll laugh a
little, and you’ll have a little piece of history to refer to, which will offer
perspective when this passes.
5. Write. A poem, a song, your thoughts, a blog, a
book.
6. Clean, rearrange your furniture, put together some things to donate. I
know this is six, but in the long history of Five Things, there’s always
at least six, always more. We’ll get through this. There’s more.
