Go on! Take it!  
Accept this “free” time to become better at everything. We have just been handed bonus hours.
For the first time in the history of the world we have more minutes to work on ourselves.
This is incredible, unprecedented. So, I vow to utilize every single second and treat it like the precious gift it truly is.
Here are ten things on my self-improvement list.
1/Learn to Ommmm- Mediation tops the list! I’ve been full of anxiety.
One obvious sign for me—my hair is falling out--again.
I need to stem this and toot sweet!  
This has happened in the past. I lost about half my hair in 2016.
​I just now—through various treatments, including PRP from Dr. Semone Rochlin have filled in all of the bald spots. So, for the sake of my hair, I need to relax. Ommmmm.

2/Book Nook-When I’m anxious, it’s tough for me to concentrate. But hey, hopefully the meditation will help me with that!
3/New Lingo- I should learn a new language once and for all. Here’s why: You know those long medical forms we fill out, with those redundant, annoying questions?  You know the one where it says “preferred language”?  I can be a bit of a smart ass so, ever since I was 16, I’ve been writing “Italian”. In part for kicks and also to see if anyone’s really reading it. And no— not once—not one time has anyone ever asked “Come ti senti oggi?” (How are you feeling today?).
4/Homie Gym- I need to set up a work-out routine that I can and will do until life in the outside world is safe again. I work-out best with structure, so this will be challenging. I will be sharing what I do—so stay tuned!
5/Investigating Recipes-Today I head to the allergist to determine which foods I’m allergic to. I cannot wait. Something has been giving me severe diarrhea and it’s taking its toll. So, I’m eager to find healthy, whole food recipes-- minus the problematic ingredient.
6/Blog Monetization- I want to (I will!) learn how to make money as I create fun, content on diet, exercise and positive, healthy living.  Tips anyone? Please share!

​7/Fur Lovin’- Millie and Roxy know something’s wrong, something’s off.
They’ve been acting differently-sleeping and eating a lot less. Sleeping in different places and other oddities.
So, they feel my nervousness and vice versa. Therefore, I will pay more attention to them--give them more playtime, cuddles, brushing and lots of walks!

8/At Your Service- I will help others.  I have a car; I have the determination—so there’s a lot I can do. I will brave the grocery store for those who cannot and should not go out. For instance, mom is 87 and dad is 91. They need to stay inside. They live in a retirement community where thousands are in the same boat. So, I hope to be an anchor—a lifeline-- for them and some of their neighbors! Literally!
9/Church Service-Our church is now online only. I will reach out to church members and let them know I can run errands. Again—car, determination—got them both. I can do this.
10/Rabbit Hole- I will not have a pity party. I’m healthy, I’m well. At a time when others are struggling—for their lives both physically and financially, I will do what I can by staying positive—despite the fact that I might feel like curling up in a ball and watching an old 1940s movie. I find those old films so darn comforting. Love those “Thin Man” who dunnit series with Myrna Loy and William Powell!
