How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Slow down. Breathe. Enjoy the sunshine. Go swim. See the sights. Connect with that person.

Do that thing you always wanted to do.

If you can’t, what’s holding you back? Figure that out.

Then go and find out which underpaid single mother already did what you always wanted to do, and follow her lead.

Daily Affirmations, if wanted:

• Your life is a garden: Water what nourishes, remove what poisons, and be mindful of the weeds, they pop up regularly.

• Grow at your own pace. There’s only one you.

• Rest well: It takes time to recuperate, and you need it, body and soul. 

• Take that time off you’ve been meaning to take, and do something positive you genuinely enjoy.

• Give people their flowers when they’re around to receive them.

• Be a good friend. That sometimes means saying, “Thus far and no further,” and meaning it.

• Boundaries: Yours and others. Respect them.

• Read at least one book of fiction every year. You don’t have to tell anybody about it. Just enjoy the experience.

• Find that music album Younger You loved and listen to it all the way through.

Sweater Weather

What is your favorite type of weather?

Call it Autumn, call it Fall, it doesn’t matter:

Sweater Weather is the best weather. Those few weeks before it gets genuinely grey and cold, when the leaves really start to turn? Perfection.

Worth It

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

“I wanted you to know that what you wrote really spoke to me.”

“This! Exactly this! This is why fiction is so important! Thank you!”

“She’s tolerable, I suppose…

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

… but she’s not handsome enough to tempt me. Bingley, I am in no humour to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. Go back to your partner, enjoy her smiles. You’re wasting your time with me.”

I did not look that up when I wrote it down.
Turns out, I only got one word wrong.
