  1. Meditate. If you have never meditated before, Studio Rubedo is offering “Meditate in the Sanctuary” classes online beginning March 28th.
  2. Put together a puzzle.
  3. Learn a foreign language. Download apps such as Duolingo.
  4. Plan your next vacation. Because this is only temporary and you should have something to look forward to! Even if it’s a stay-cation, plan the places you will go and the sights you will see in your hometown.
  5. Watch movies. Lots and lots of movies!
  6. Paint. Art in the Loft is offering kids smART classes with kits you can take home!
  7. Clean out that junk drawer.
  8. Work on home projects you’ve been putting off.

  10. Skype with friends and family.
