New Mexico Land of Enchantment

New Mexico - Land of Enchantment

Checking off another state in the United States, we went to New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, in April of 2022. We went with three other couples (relatives), two of them were in trailers, like us. The other stayed at a hotel nearby. Our main focus was National Parks. I will say that this was not a fun way to travel. When we go by ourselves, I plan out our agenda. Going with others means we go with other people’s plans. We did try to get off by ourselves and visit a few places I had on my list.

We were traveling in our trailer, so we ended up camping in one spot in Santa Fe. The Trailer Ranch RV Resort, 3471 Cerrillos Rd, in Santa Fe, doesn’t really look like much from the exterior, but it was a great place to stay. It was quiet, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful.

If you have never donated to charity, you have been missing out. There are so many positive reasons to donate. You can donate money, food, used clothing, furniture, books, vehicles, stocks, and mutual funds.

I cannot force you to donate, but I believe that if you do, you will be blessed, even if, in your opinion, it is only something small. Giving of your time is also a donation. This can be once a week or once a year. I have seen people that are retired turning to one of their local charities to volunteer part-time.

Coronavirus – Lessons to Learn

lessons to learn Coronavirus Pandemic

In 2020, our lives have changed in ways we could never have imagined. There are many lessons we can learn from this time. Most of us are adapting well. Others are having a hard time. And unfortunately, some are choosing to live their life as if this doesn’t concern them, putting themselves and others in danger.

Stay Calm.

There is enough food and water. Unfortunately, some have chosen to hoard supplies, making those that really need them, unable to find them. Things like rice, ramen noodles, eggs, flour, milk, paper towels, diapers, formula, water and toilet paper are difficult to find. If people had stayed calm and only purchased what they truly needed this would not have happened.

Last week I waited 40 minutes to get in my grocery store because they were limiting the number of people that could enter. That should not be a big deal. It’s for our safety. It was an opportunity to have some great conversation with those in line with me, who were a shopping cart away (social distancing.)
