There are many ways
To keep our spirits rising
Let’s take time for four
Take a Walk
Take your dog outside
Or invite a friend to join
Get yourself fresh air
Even through a mask
The outdoors is refreshing
Get up and go move!
Visit Your Neighbors
Keep six feet apart
And join your neighbors outside
Share flowers and wine
Share love and friendship
Keep the loneliness at bay
There’s no better way
T – M -W
Is the best invitation
Charley’s “Too Much Wine!”
Let Go Anxiety –
Adopt Humor & Practice Faith
There’s no better way:
Practice positivity
With the Bible and your faith
Hang around fun folks
And keep in touch by the Web
Share all God’s blessings
Don’t dwell on “Don’t Haves”
Concentrate on what you HAVE
Practice gratitude
Son-in-law, Andre’
Decided – save some bucks and
Avoid the virus
He knew just the way:
He could do his own haircut
Well, the front is fine!!
Don’t worry about
Not going to the hairdresser
Just do it yourself
Have clippers, will do!!
Find yourself a friend
Who will be your prayer partner
Daily trade pictures
Pray together and
Exchange positivity
Watch your spirit soar
Connect with the hearts
Of the people that you love
Share each others’ love
The weather has permitted worship on the lawn.
It’s so good to see our friends.
Let God Music Lift You
As I write this blog
Susan Boyle lifts me up
Non-stop I listen
I ask Alexa
“Repeat” and she repeats this
Until I say “Stop.”
Listen to the words
Let them sink into your soul
You can’t help but smile
Be raised by music
Let the Love of Christ lift you
You must not stay down
Let God live in you
Let the Holy Spirit speak
Be strong and be well
There are many ways
To keep our spirits rising
Take time for these four
Take a Walk
Visit Your Neighbors
Let Go Anxiety
Let God and Music Lift You
See ya tomorrow.
Have a blessed day.
Love,
JanBeek

Better today. Just gotta keep thinking positively. Some days avoiding the blues are harder than others.

You might have to take a road trip to through the mountains to cheer you up!!

That’s a good idea. Needs to be a smooth road – not the rocky bumpy jarring ATV trails! Tomorrow we’re going to Bozeman. That’ll cheer me up when my doctor says in my follow-up visit, “All is healing just fine!”

Derrick, I am able to play it. I don’t know why it is not available to you. Maybe it’s because I have an Amazon Music subscription? I’m not sure. I will post those words here – so at least the message of the song is available to you. It’s rattling around in my head this early morning – not yet 5:00 am – and so I can’t sleep til I resolve this!

Wow, André’s haircut is so creative! And I don’t think I’ve seen a wineglass as big as the one Bob is drinking from. 😀 Thanks for sharing the photos of your beautiful countryside while TazE takes you for a walk, Jan. 😋 Did you make that snazzy face mask yourself? It looks pretty. 💕

Thanks, Lesley. My friend, Elaine, made the mask for me.

Jan, your antidotes of humor, music, words, and photos (all backed up with our Lord’s love) hit the spot. I know I need to allow myself to let God lead the way with His blessings of positivity. May God continue to bless you and your family.
