And Still....

...in the deep freeze!  Woke up to 2 degrees with a real feel of minus 11.  That's just too dang cold!!  My default mantra:  at least the sun is shining.  You can pretend it's warmer just by virtue of seeing the sun sparkle on the snow.

Taking a much-needed break from the news for a few days.  I'm guessing if anything catastrophic happens, my partner, friends, family will let me know.  For my well-being, I need to bow out of news checking for a bit.  It feels irresponsible in a way, but I can live with that.  

How do you self-care?  Some friends I know use food to help them feel better.  Some folks watch movies, read books, go to museums, do crafty things.  I walk, which has been difficult these last couple of weeks.  The air is so dry that it hurts my lungs when it's so freakin' cold.  The good news is that we're warming up to the 20s in a couple of days!  It'll feel downright balmy!

Whatever you do for self-care, I hope it's making you feel better amid all the chaos and awful things that are being perpetrated at home and abroad.  Take care of you.  And take care of others.  We're all delicate and in need of love and kindness.  Spread that around.  You'll feel really happy that you did :-)
