It's Virtually Possible

by Sam Crawford

Try Something New To Create A Better You

This winter still has many weeks to go and could be a difficult time if you let it get the best of you. So change that dynamic by doing something different for a change.

These activities may be mostly virtual, but their enjoyment can be completely real:

Shape Up. Stop blaming those extra pandemic pounds on your gym being closed. There are hundreds of fitness and yoga classes available online, some for a small subscription fee but many at no cost. And a brisk walk on a cool, sunny day is still a great way to generate some heat and burn off some calories.

Get Cooking. The other side of enjoying a healthier lifestyle this year is eating better. Take an online cooking class or watch a recipe demonstration for some new ideas. Seize this opportunity to free yourself from fast foods and bad habits for good with greater taste and more modest portions.

Be Smarter. Colleges and universities are offering most of their classes online these days, and seniors can take many of them for free. Learn a new language, explore local history, improve your computer skills, or start some seeds for a spring garden with help from academic experts.

Check Out Your Library. Every town and county has a public library and most now offer new online services for free. Download books, magazines and music, stream movies and TV shows, attend an author event, or join a book club for some uplifting social interaction.

Take A Tour. The world’s great museums initially closed last spring, but have reopened with free virtual tours. Among the best are The Louvre (Paris), The Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), The British Museum (London), The Vatican Museums (Rome), and The National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.).

Catch A Show. Until in-person attendance is possible again, an unprecedented number of theatrical performances and music concerts are available for live streaming or downloading. Make it a date night with your bubble partner, and even if you have to buy a ticket, at least you don’t have to get all dressed up and pay for parking.

Go To Sundance. The Sundance Film Festival is going virtual for 2021, with more than 70 movies debuting live online. Ticket packages are available starting January 7 for the seven days of world premiers from January 28 to February 3. Select theaters around the country will also host showings, including many drive-in locations.

Attend an IDEAL-LIVING Resort & Retirement Show. Our popular in-person shows are going virtual this year, and you’re invited to attend. Preview more than 50 leading resort, residential, and retirement communities in 10 states. Attend informative on-demand seminars. Live chat with local experts and schedule a personal phone- or video-conference appointment. Plan a Discovery Visit for later in the year. Register today at IdealShows.com
