PART 1 of 3 

In every situation, as bad as the reality is there is usually a silver lining or some positives to come out of it.

The trick is, to look for it, to find that silver lining and find some positives of your own.

This is a very tough and challenging time for us all, and it will be a challenge for most of us to even think that there could be something that can come from this crisis.

BUT guess what?

I came up with several, and so can you.  I challenge you to it.

Why not give some of them a try?  

   TIPS #1-7…. more to come 🙂

#1 Busta Move! THINK of ALL the line dances you can learn by the end of this.  YouTube has it all, from the Cupid Shuffle to the Boot Scootin’ Boogie.  Not only is it a ton of fun, but a great way to relieve some stress and burn off some much needed calories

#2 Take a Tour.  From the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C. to the Van Gogh in Amsterdam, your laptop can take you there.  VISIT places you may never have the chance to visit.  Make a list of your favs and plan a trip to visit in the future.

#3 Bring Pics to Life.  Now is the perfect time to print out your favorite pictures, or EVEN BETTER, make a photo book.  Snapfish and Shutterfly are just a few of many that are available to use for you to create a book of all your favorite memories.  Photo books make great personalized gifts and are a keepsake that will be cherished forever.

#4 Reach Out and Touch Someone. NOW is the perfect time to RECONNECT with friends and family members.  Our lives often get so busy we lose touch with people or just can’t seem to connect with them.  Now is the perfect time to give them a call because, you know, they’re home.  We’re all home now, we have the time, and they would love to hear from you!

#5 Coffee Anyone? Not only can you reach out and touch someone, but you can plan to have virtual coffee with them through Face Time.  HOW FUN IS THAT?  Plan a time to have a virtual coffee date and schedule it with friends.  It’s a great way to see your friends and keep each others spirits up.

#6 House Party.  Where’s the party?  In your house!  House party is a face to face social networking app. that is the NEXT BEST THING to hanging out in person.  Put some music on, invite your friends and have a have a blast dancing to your favorite tunes.

#7 Get Your Betty On.  This is the PERFECT TIME to try that recipe you’ve always wanted to make or to try some new ones out.

Give some of these a try and see what you can come up with yourself.
