She had been in a hoarding situation and needed to be adopted. She loves to sit on my lap, sleep on my bed, and follow me around. I was able to teach her two tricks because she is very motivated by treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>An afghan blanket&nbsp;<\/strong>that my mother knitted.<br>My mother, who passed away in 2012, was always knitting. She made afghans for EVERYONE! I have two of them and when I snuggle under one, I think of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every two weeks&nbsp;<strong>I write a letter to a soldier.<\/strong><br>I joined a group called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/soldiersangels.org\/landing-page-letters-for-soldiers\/\">Soldiers Angels<\/a>&nbsp;where I get to choose who to write a letter to. It feels good to know that someone who is serving our country will get mail delivered to them while they are away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>DIGITAL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I love&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/\">the Libby app<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/libbyapp.com\/\">&nbsp;<\/a>through my public library.<strong><br><\/strong>I listen to audiobooks, and go through one every ten days or so. I listen whenever I am doing something else, like getting ready for work, driving in the car, doing dishes or laundry. I read both fiction and non-fiction and love getting my brain revved up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am in the process of&nbsp;<strong>digitizing all of my photo albums<\/strong>&#8230;only two to go!<br>Most of them are photos of my son so I have shared them with him on Google drive. It&#8217;s great for us both to have access to them now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>INVISIBLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;This too shall pass.&#8221;<\/strong><br>Whether good or bad, things change.
