Hello all you wonderful social distancers! I'm excited to have this brand new blog set up to stay in touch with you. It's a simple way to share information, but mostly it's one more way for us to stay connected. To that end, we'll be posting more frequently on the FPCP Website, Facebook, and Instagram pages -- posting for grownups AND for kids. If you're already social media savvy, check it out right now. If you're not so social media savvy, it's never to late to start. And you can start right now! if you're reading this post and wondering why some words are in blue font, that's a great question. Those words are hyperlinked to take you directly to those sites, meaning if you click on the word Facebook, it will automatically take you to the FPCP Facebook page. It's just that simple. Keep watching for new posts and updates on all our social media platforms, and I look forward to connecting with you from afar!
Today is day one since the order to shelter in place went into effect here in Sonoma County, and now, like it or not, many of us have a lot less structure to our days than we are used to. This new structure (or lack of structure) can lead to additional anxiety, loneliness, depression and boredom, but there are some intentional things we can do to help stay healthy in body, mind and spirit.
Click here to read a great article by Sister Mary Catherine Perry, a cloistered nun with the Dominican nuns in Summit, New Jersey. For the past 29 years, Sister Mary has chosen to practice social distancing, and she's got some helpful tips for those of us just getting started. I found it helpful, and I hope you do to.
Peace to you all,
Pastor John
