Hey there,
What a week of news, eh? Whether youâre quarantined or are just following events closely, I hope youâre staying safe, getting some rest, and doing your best to make the most of things (I found this very helpful and reassuring).
I got a stomach bug early this week đˇ so my office was largely my bed, where I was doing my best to grade essays, record a podcast, and do a teensy bit of writing in between long bouts of sleep and occasional snippets of books and movies. I feel better now, thank goodness, but Iâm still taking it easy. My big moment of the day will most likely be walking the dog â woohoo! đ Definitely feeling cabin fevered, so itâll be good to get out, even if itâs just the neighborhood.
5 Quick Things âď¸
1. Since I wasnât feeling well enough to write something new this week, I re-shared one of my classic posts, 20 ways to savor springtime. (Is it in the air where you are yet?)
2. A blender, a standing friend date, a great podcast, and sacred potential. Loved this, needed this.
3. On my Good List this week â creating a basket of your go-to comfort art, a simple but sturdy thing in times of anxiety (like right now).
4. A photographerâs parents wave farewell âŚWhat a beautiful marking of quotidian, familiar life.
5. Iâve worked from home for years now, so much of this is already all too familiar to me â still made me laugh, though.
Quotable đŹ
âI don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I canât change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.â
