Motorcycle riding is therapy. They always say wind therapy is free! All he does out there is concentrate on the road in front of him, other cars, and the scenery when possible. Today he rode from Palm Desert to Parker, Nevada. It took him over two hours each way. After he got home and had a little nap he wanted to go out again. This time in the car for a little road trip. I like the car road trip as I can listen to some of my favorite Podcasts on Spotify or a video on Youtube.

In the meantime, we should be following the marshall law to help prevent the rapid spread and overfill of our hospitals with victims of Coronavirus. Here is a list of 100 things to keep you busy while we Shelter In Place, Self Quarantine and Social Distancing of 6 feet from each other.

Creating a Daily Schedule

It is very important to have structure during this new and unknown time. Structure helps us stay organized, busy and on track. It makes me feel safe, comfortable and disciplines me so I don’t feel sorry for myself, eat everything in the refrigeration or get negative thoughts that the end is near.

A schedule can keep you focused and keep you productive. You know what you are supposed to do A suggestion is to get up at a reasonable time, get dressed and start your project, plan, or fun for the day.
