Hello there! Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday. This is my second week being back to work and things are slowly starting to feel normal again. We are still sheltering in place outside of work and I'm still meeting with my friends on Zoom frequently. As a matter of fact, Zoom meetings is what I'm thinking out loud about today.
So before the pandemic, I had not been on a single Zoom meeting. Now my calendar is full of them and it's so fun to see my friends' faces. We've even Zoomed with my parents!
I have a standing weekly date with several of my sorority sisters. After the first week of catching up, we realized that our social calendars had pretty much come to a stop and we weren't going to have a lot to "catch up" on. So each week I send out a fun question to ponder and it sparks the conversation. The time flies by and I love hearing the answers from each of my friends.
Are you in the same boat where a conversation starter would add value to your calls? Here are some of the questions we have tackled ~
You've heard of four truths and a lie? We've done this one twice. The first time the topic was to name four concerts you had been to and one on your bucket list. Everyone typed their answers in the chat feature and then we took turns guessing for each person the concert they had not been to. It was so fun hearing about the concerts my friends had been to and learning the one on their bucket list!
The next week we once again did the four truths and a lie concept but with vacation spots. After hearing about a few of the places on my friend's lists, I've added some destinations I want to travel to!
One week we talked about five books on our nightstand. They could be books you wanted to read or had already finished. Two of us had just finished
City of Girls and another one highly recommended was
American Dirt.
This week our topic is to name five celebrities you would like to have dinner with. They can be dead or alive. I'm still pondering my five guests. Who would yours be?
These weekly chats have become one of the highlights of my week! It's been wonderful to reconnect with my friends and learn a little something new about them. I hope we never have to live through another pandemic time in our lives, but doing these calls is definitely something positive that has come out of this!
Now it's your turn - what are you thinking out loud about this week? Link up and share. I love hearing from you!
