What connects you to others?
A couple months ago it might have been sporting events, spiritual gatherings, or simply Friday nights. These days we are limited to computers, phones, and social media.
So it seems.
We can’t go to our gyms, or schools, let alone work places without some risk. And while we can go grocery shopping, I look forward to the days I can mean mug someone for leaving their cart in the parking lot.
Things have changed. So we stay home, like we are supposed to.
How about a different kind of connection?
Have you been on a chalk walk? 
Chalk Walk 2020 was introduced to us by our neighboring schools. It’s motivation was to encourage families to get outside, spread good thoughts on the sidewalks, and connect from a distance. There are no “how to” instructions. A box of chalk will spark creativity. 
I have seen elaborate designs, scripture, impressive murals, words of encouragement, math problems, and stops for exercise. At my house you will hopscotch, skip and then take some chalk with you to spread the fun.
Join me. Sometimes it is about what you can do, isn’t it?
What is connecting you to friends, family, and neighbors these days?
I would love to pass it on…

It has been just as fun to walk the neighborhood as it is to contribute. So fun. Thanks.

Thank you . I felt the same way when I walked about. It was also fun to look out my window and see all the grown ups that actually did the hopscotch. Made my day.

I have been noticing chalk art here also when walking my dog. Brings a smile. We have been having a family sing song on facebook to stay connected in this time of isolation. Each day, my cousin has been posting the first line of a song and then extended members of our family post the next line in the song until we’ve “sung” the whole song.

That’s a great idea. I’m sure lots of laughs with that one.

Thank you, it was fun for me to “connect” with the neighbors. Even met some new ones in this time of “distancing”.
