Season of Gatherings

This season of gatherings during the holidays are rather different without friends or family celebrations this year in 2020.  Jesse Tam, during this time of year many of us are volunteering at the foodbanks or helping our communities or seniors who may need assistances.  Thanksgiving time for many were spent with fewer people traveing to visiting families local or far away.  Our meals were shared with just a few or possibly staying at home as we try to keep healthly from the challenging virus.  

The challenges are ways for us to keep awake and make changes to new ideas and adjust to face what lies ahead.  Changes can become opportunities. Take time to gather new insight, learn new skills and refresh ideas for times ahead.  Seasons will come and go; therefore, all of us must make adjustments to seek out new things and see things with an open mind.  

Stay in contact with those friends and families whom you may not have reached out to for years.  It's a different way for each of us to reflect on values, work life changes and others.   A new year ahead for 2021, Jesse  https://jesset28.blogspot.com/   Here to a December to remember, keep plugging ahead.

Relax and Refresh Outdoors

The time spent working remote from home limits contact with our friends, family and co-workers. Jesse Tam, maintain regular exercise and schedule time to relax with daily breaks. Find a new skill such as cooking together, new language or spruce up your music skills. Walking near your neighborhood and maintain safe distancing helps during this period. 

Cycling is great for getting around and rewarding as a sense of independence and accomplishment.  First become familiar with the rules and regulations of your city for cyclists, it's a fantastic way to see places and travel. There are many bike trails to explore from Burke Gilman, along Lake Washington or cross the bridge on I-90 and more...

Beautiful Mt Rainer is always a great place to visit.  Check the website for reopening and plan ahead for your trip and spend the day while you're there.

Places to Go, Plan Ahead

It's was a long gray winter in Seattle this year with a record sixty plus days with cloudy skies and no sunshine. Jesse Tam, now the welcoming sun and spring is just around the corner.  Spring break for the school kids and college will soon be here.  One of the interest places to see is the crashing waves year round along the Pacific Northwests coasts and beaches.

Take a drive to Long Beach, WA aka as the longest stretch of beach.  It's a year round places for the relaxation and exploring new nature trails.  Rent a bike, stroll or jog along the boardwalk trails with grassy path.  Enjoy a day or spend the weekend where you can go clamming ro razor clams, crabbing for Dungeness crab or fishing.  Wilapa Bay is renowned for oysters and a short drive north for a visit.

There are many shops in town to stroll along after a day at the beach for souvenirs, have an ice cream or ride some carnival rides. Pacific Avenue is where more of the action is to explore, have a great day. Jesse  https://jessetam.wordpress.com/
