I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQLServerCentral newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here.

Today’s tip is to change your normal routine today and notice how you feel.

It’s PASS Virtual Summit week, and I have some commitments for the talks I’m doing. However, my talk today is in the afternoon, so I have some time this am. I’m going to change things up and go for a morning walk and get some exercise, then come in an work later into the evening.

We’ll see if I like the chance. I typically prefer to work early and stop, but I’ll try something new today.

Today’s tip is to sign up for a new course, activity, or online community.

I don’t need to sign up, but I’ve let some of the work I was doing on guitar fall away a bit. Not a good idea, as I a) paid for courses, and b) it’s a good break. Not that I’ve given up, but I stopped participating in some of the courseware.

I’m making it a point today to start another one of the courses I had paid for with Marty Music and Guitar Jamz. Looking over my list, I know I’d started the blues course, but I’m going to switch to the Legends of Classic Rock and do something different.

Today’s tip is to make a list of new things you want to do in the next month.

Since this is 2020 and most things are strange and different, I’m going to pick the things that will be new in the “new normal” life I’ve been stuck with for months.

Recordings – On my mind as I have 4 to do as I write this, not a small task.

Get back in a workout routine – An illness derailed me, but I want to get back to this

Build a wooden box – I’ve been wanting to do this with my daughter, so I need to get on this project.

Re-engineer the door lift in the riding arena – A motor broke, or rather, got used incorrectly and I need to replace it. While doing it, I need to improve some things.

Today’s tip is to get outside and observe the changes in nature around you.

I was sick recently. Worn out, tired, and took a few days off. During that time, I was inside, didn’t go out to the store, and really didn’t work very much. I didn’t really go outside for a couple days, which unusual for me.

When I felt better, I told my wife I’d help her get a few things done. Walking outside, feeling the change in weather, which has been dramatic a few days this fall in Denver, and seeing animals, was good for the soul. I even took a little video and enjoyed a moment with baby Phoebe.

This make most things better
