And just like that Easter has come and gone.  I hope you had a restful weekend sprinkled with moments of joy.  I actually celebrated my birthday this weekend and while it was definitely a new experience to celebrate it alone, there was a lot of goodness in it too.  Namely, no pressure to make plans.  I love a good party and love planning them too – just not when I’m the focus.  So every year the thought of planning something for my birthday often leaves me paralyzed.  This year that pressure was gone.  And it was lovely.

How are you doing my friend?  I’m heading into week four of physical distancing and feeling better than last week.  Although our new normal is wearing on me, work is keeping me busy, which I think is helpful.  And I am so grateful for it.

At this point I’m not sure what’s more taxing, staying at home or venturing out for necessities.  The entire process of leaving home is so stressful and such a painful reminder of just how much our lives have changed, that I’m not sure I’m keen to do it again anytime soon.  If like me you’re happy to stay inside, I offer this weeks Tuesday 10 as a small distraction 🙂
