♥ everyone i know is still safe, still healthy, still happy

♥ seeing people come together while staying apart

♥ spending time with 20…he makes me hot dogs or grilled cheese for lunch
which makes the fact that he got a new video game AND WON’T STOP
YELLING AT THE TV a tiny bit more bearable

♥ being able to rent movies from YouTube and google play

♥ extra time to read

♥ getting out with the dog every day at lunch

♥ yoga stretch breaks don’t look quite so silly in my house
as compared to in the office

♥ music plays all day as i work from home and NO ONE yells
at me from over the cubicle wall for singing :)

♥ i have not run out of jujubes yet

♥ a tension filled game of online scrabble with a worthy component (who
is going to lose but I am not sure she has come to terms with that yet)

♥ my mom calls me every second night, just to check in…

♥ texts and messages from friends

♥ painting bears and new cards and catching up on blogs

♥ planning my garden…there WILL be a garden this year….a garden of epic-ness

♥ texts from my girl and knowing that she is happy right now…which makes me
incredibly happy

♥ started feeding the birds every morning (right after I disinfect all the doorknobs)
and started seeing little teeny tiny birds come EVERY DAY! :)

I know these are tough times…
scary and uncertain…
uncharted waters.
But there are tiny glimmers of good,
you just have to look a little harder for them…

I have cut back drastically on my FB reading
and I never, ever, EVER read the comments…
I get a summary of the news from a good friend
who knows how much I can handle…
i am on a need-to-know basis.

Do what works for you.
But breathe.
Find calm.
Make a puzzle. Watch a movie.
Find something that makes you laugh really hard,
and then watch it again.
Connect. Listen. Be still. It’s ok.
We got this.
