With all that’s going on in the world, it’s hard to keep your head above water. It would be easy (and understandable) to simply give in to all the ugliness and pain and be crushed under its weight.
I’m finding ways to get through –
- Do what I can to help
- keep up with enough news to know what is happening
- Immerse myself in the beauty that ALSO abounds in our world – the arts, books, music, stories of what others are doing to make our world a better place, talking to our son, hugging my husband and our pets, reaching out to friends and family
- escape to my art room to try to create something healing for myself, and maybe others
- look for plants for my early spring veggie garden
- start to plan to get our yard in shape after the winter
- exercise to try to make myself stronger physically
- ACKNOWLEDGE that there are many, many things I cannot control
What do YOU do to cope?
