Smack in the middle of the rainy, dreary day yesterday, I heard some noise coming from the basement when I was on my computer developing another online lesson for my students. My daughter's baby was taking a nap so I was surprised it wasn’t quiet. It was the middle of the day, but the four of them ( my two daughters, a son-in-law and a boyfriend who are living with us for now) decided to gather together and meet in the basement, where we have a ping pong table, a Foosball table and some exercise equipment. Music was playing and they were all smiling and laughing and very busy! One was on the treadmill, one was on the Peloton bike and two were dancing to music following some steps from an old game we had hooked up to the television set when the girls were in high school. I stood on the basement step in amazement. They had found a way to enjoy each other and the moment. Even though we’d all been busy most of the day working, we’ve all been feeling stuck and isolated. But these clever kids of mine, they found a way through exercise, music and dance to feel free.
