Heavy Heart & Joy
How I attempt to live with both.
Each day I read or hear something that gives me a heavy heart, often tears. Our current administration is beyond awful, police brutality and rampant racism is disgusting, the rising death toll due to Covid is heartbreaking…I could go on and on. I keep up on news because I like to be informed but there is a time when I have to preserve my sanity and check out. I’m not burying my head in the sand; I’m consciously choosing for bits of my day to remember joy in the little things of life. I know this is an incredibly privileged position I’m in that I even get to CHOOSE to check out from chaos - and for that I am grateful.
I write this to say I’m not talking about Target baskets & houseplants while blissfully unaware of issues - this is my escape.
I hope everyone can find their own way to reflect, recenter, recharge cause there is a long road ahead.
