5 Quick Things #175 đ§¶
Four seconds, good pain, planting irises, and of course â MITTENS
Hey there,
What a week! Whoever thought itâd be filled with Bernie memes? Regardless of who you voted for (or perhaps youâre not even American), the eveningâs celebration hosted by Tom Hanks was just delightful, and I am here for this instead of fancy, faraway balls from here on out. And those fireworks! đ€Ż
I donât feel like Iâve gotten much work done this week because of the news â or honestly, for the past few weeks. But I am starting to work on a new project, and itâs something you guys ask me about in some form at least once a day now, so Iâm eager to share it with you! Beans to be spilled soon. In the meantime, Iâve got my work cut out for me. Onward.

5 Quick Things âïž
1. Today, Seth & I talk about how we find the motivation to work out, even when (especially when?) we donât feel like it. (Recognizing the sacramentality of our earthly bodies definitely helps.)
2. Pair the episode with this idea of four seconds making all the difference.
3. And after you listen to us, listen to Beth & Sarah â their unpacking of this weekâs inauguration is for all of us this weekend.
4. Of course we were all moved by Amanda Gormanâs jaw-dropping poem at the inauguration. This interview legit made me cry. âŠHer mama must be so proud.
5. And finally, I like this quick reflection from Austin Kleon: spend time on something that will outlast this. Yes and amen.

p.s. Okay, before we all get sick of them (is it possible? doesnât feel like it yet)⊠Hereâs a quick recap of some of the best Bernie mitten memes so far. And this interview with the mitten maker is just delightfully normal.
