  Lines at the lake

  This quarantine is something we're all not used to. The inside has been interesting , but I have found another childhood memory to revisit. Fishing! This week I have knocked the dust off the old fishing rods and hit the lake. It's a great place to bond with your family and get some fresh air! We are still taking safety precautions as well, but it has been great. The view, fresh air, and outside bonding time has been much needed. I have caught a few things but as I'm revisiting a childhood memory I'm also visiting a childhood fear! Getting the fishes off the hook. Still afraid of the slimy things but it has been a time well spent.

  My Self-Quarantine Painting

  During this pandemic, there is a lot of uncertainty going around and many people are feeling lost, especially when it comes to feeling productive or simply finding things to do each day. I am one of these people. As a child, I loved art, even though I wasn't very good at it. As the years passed, I found that I stopped doing a lot of the things that I loved to focus on things that I felt were more important, such as school and work. Just recently, I figured that I have more time than ever to reconnect with old hobbies, and it really made me happy to go back to doing things (painting, in this case) that I was passionate about. What this says about the pandemic is that although times are tough and you might find yourself stuck in the same routine every day, there are still ways to make the most out of a negative situation. If anything, now is the perfect time to catch up on some of the things you wish you could've done years ago.
