Prompt: "Doctors recommend we do different stimuli to keep our neurons active in our brain. What do you enjoy doing? Here's some examples: suduko, crosswords, word finds, jigsaw puzzles, play cards, speak another language, or dance."

I believe doctors are correct and we do need to challenge our brains. Brains are like a muscle. They get better with use and atrophy without use. My exercise is college. I am in college working on my masters degree as I will be for the next three years. I know. Most Masters programs are only two years. Mine includes one year of residency. I will be a chaplain as soon as I earn my M. Div. I am a chaplain now, albeit a volunteer one. When I graduate I will be paid for my work.

"Prompt: What are 3 things you are looking forward to today?"

I'd like to say I am looking forward to getting my mail because I am expecting some important mail, but the mail came today and I did not get what I was expecting. I did get a couple of packages, including a box of Matthew Henry commentaries on the Bible. Matthew Henry was an old commentator but they are well trusted. I'll be getting a lot of use out of them.

I'm also looking forward to doing some writing. I'm writing to people on the Snail Mail Forum and so far I've really enjoyed myself. I've written almost 40 letters since the quarantine started. It doesn't show any signs of weakening soon so buckle your seatbelts folks.
