What I Learned This Week at ActiveRain-April 5 to April 11, 2020

 

I learn something new every day at ActiveRain! With this series, I try to highlight one post per day that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or the other professions that I never knew, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

This and the following post go hand in hand.

These times call for more than our usual amount of empathy. We may be complaining of staying at home but we have to remember that some may be worried about other things...like losing theirs.

Since we all can't be together for this very special weekend, how about some music to soothe the soul.

I know what my answer is but what's yours? Stop by and share it with Marte!!!

All I know is that I'm glad that I'm not going through this in my very first apartment which was 725 square feet. What do you think?

We all need smiles, especially at Easter. Doug shares something that may make you want to watch the Sound of Music again.

Helpful and useful tips to help!!! We can all use these!
