What are you doing during COVID-19 lock-down with all your mandated free time? (Interesting concept!) For the most part, people are figuring it out.
Through various means, I gathered comments and ideas from people about their activities. Here is a summarized, compilation list of how people are living out their story during this global pandemic. Some pretty interesting and creative ideas.
Lock-Down Ideas From Your Global Neighbors!
I’m walking / running to drop those 10 extra pounds and be healthier. I used to say, “I don’t have time.” Well, now I do. So no more excuses.- We’re building a fort the kids in the backyard. They need something to do – and so do we!
