| North Shore Family Dinners |
If you’re experiencing cabin fever, boredom or loneliness at your
North Shore home during this COVID-19 pandemic, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, there are many ways to stay connected with your
community and loved ones, and ways to get involved in virtual offerings
with others who share your interests and passions. As your North Shore real estate agent, I’m here to offer you some suggestions, so
we can all get through this difficult time together!
1. Reach out to family,
friends and neighbors. Even though we have to social distance right
now, we don’t have to stop talking. Call or text at least one
friend, neighbor or family member each day. Set up at least one video
chat each week. If you’re not good with technology, reach out for
help. If you are good with it, create a tutorial for others to follow
who aren’t as tech-savvy.
2. Connect with those
around you. If you’re lucky enough to live with others, consider
yourself fortunate, and spend time connecting with them. Rather
than everyone hanging out in their own rooms, set up game nights, movie nights, family dinners and baking nights, where everyone participates. Have a picnic in the backyard, play hide-and-seek, have daily or
weekly check-ins to see how everyone is doing. If you have to be
around each other, you might as well get along and connect!
3. Join a virtual
class. There are lots of free and low-cost offerings right now
online, and this is a great way to connect to others you might not
know, but who share in your interests. From virtual open mic nights
and writing workshops to online yoga classes and free ivy league
courses, there is something for everyone. Often these offerings have
forums or comment sections, where you can share and connect with
others who are taking the class as well. These help you feel
connected to community, even from home!
4. Help out in your
community. This is a great way to feel connected to your neighbors
and to do whatever you can to help those around you. If you’re
healthy, make an appointment to donate blood. Reach out to seniors or
those immunocompromised to see if you can help them with grocery
shopping, or bring them cooked meals. Give a shelter animal a
temporary foster home. Call your local food bank to see if they need
donations. Order food, shop online or purchase gift cards from a
local business.
If you are feeling
lonely or emotional, reach out! We are all in this together, and we
will get through this together. If you have North Shore real estate
