Quarantine Reflections

Claude Monet's lovely home in France is a perfect place to stay during quarantine. Located in Giverny, it's no wonder Monet's paintings of lily ponds are so amazing. His window gives a direct view of the beautiful gardens and ponds. If Monet were alive during the COVID pandemic, he wouldn't need to go out for inspiration because it's right outside his door. Monet would find comfort and artistic inspiration in his home, capturing the beauty of nature with his paintbrush.

Although yoga may appear daunting for someone with a full-body injury, Frida's indomitable willpower would have driven her to overcome the challenges of life.

He’d spend his time in the pool relaxing and unwinding away from the hectic busy city.
