Hi Friends! Today is a beautiful day to EXPLORE (with a face mask, hand sanitizer and staying 6 feet away from others). It may seem like you are restricted, but there is a lot to discover, even in quarantine!
I have been taking long walks all through Brooklyn - my neighborhood and surrounding neighborhoods and just last week I decided to take my walking trips to the next level. Somewhere along the way, someone had gifted my boyfriend and I a “Self Guided Walking Tours of Brooklyn” book. It’s been staring at me from my bookshelf for years. And last week, it called to me… I found a guided tour of Prospect Park and I set out on an excursion. Even though I had to wear the mask, refrain from touching things and stay away from people, it was completely restorative. Seeing parts of the park I didn’t know existed delighted me. Nature was everywhere. And, because I was distancing from people, I got to focus and absorb this all on a really personal level. It was healing. (pictures below)
So…there ARE things to be explored beyond your four walls. You must be careful (mask, sanitizer & distance), but I think you may find you discover the city in a whole different way. I was astounded at how much I had been missing out on.
