Took the most amazing walk yesterday. It wasn’t so foggy when I started out but about a mile in, I could barely see more than 500 feet or so. I’m always reflecting when I am walking…this has been the most bizarre year on record. I think about just how radically our lives have changed and also how we have adapted. I always feel peaceful when I am outside and in nature. It’s hard not to be. I write a lot in my head and seem to be able to problem solve as I go––making notes on my phone then running back home to scribble an idea. I am grateful for my walks. I am grateful for so much.
(much needed) Laughs with friends
I don’t know what I would do without Zoom right now. My writing group has maintained contact with weekly meetings and happy hours have gone virtual. I basically work from the moment I awake till around 4, so I can’t say how nice it is to laugh and see the faces i miss so much!
Spring still comes...
What a crazy time this has been. I’ve been quarantined for over two weeks, the country is deep in crisis mode with the Coronavirus, every non-essential business is shut down and it really feels like the end of the world. NYC is currently the epicenter of the virus, with NJ not far behind. (We are only 12 miles apart here). Besides constantly creating and chipping away at work projects, my daily walks have (as always) provided me with much stress relief and beauty. I feel anxiety the minute I turn on the news. People are fighting for their lives and to make it worse, they are without family or friends in the hospital. Cuomo is a bright light in all of this and his compassion has warmed my heart on the darkest of days. I am still afraid to go to any grocery stores so my outings are usually my solo walks. It’s always a treat to watch Spring unfold each year and this year more than ever. So here are some pics to hopefully brighten your day too!
