OK folks, what's a "small victory" that you've experienced during this crazy time? Could be anything--maybe you reconnected with an old friend through a video call, or learned how to communicate better with a spouse or family member. Maybe you helped your kids with math homework and had an "a-ha! " moment about a concept that stumped you 20 years ago as a student yourself. Maybe you dusted off that old treadmill (or finally got around to throwing it in the trash! ).

Teaching my kids building classes and how to use essential every day tools for home regular home repairs. Also, teaching them how to grow a vegetable garden from seedlings to harvest to provide for ourselves and neighbors if need be. They’ve been excited and look forward to the next project every day, as well as, looking forward to giving others food when they need it.

I’m offering a ton of free science-themed resources for kids on my business page. I’ve always wanted to do that but never had the time.

The garage is clean. We will never be able to park both cars as we have bicycles and yard stuff stored, but it's neat and organized.
