Hello Gentle Readers

That’s right. I finally stopped playing Disney Emoji Blitz long enough to put pen to paper. I want to remind you of a simple fact.

Get off of social media. Stop comparing yourself to what so-and-so has done with these circumstances and do what you want to do.

Crafting-sick of people posting how much craft stuff they have done? This is the crafting I’ve done. I realize I never do it. I finally owned that I don’t need the clutter from an activity I do so rarely that I am lying when I say I like beading.

Cleaning-ok, I was cleaning like a banshee, you know getting rid of crafting supplies, but then my town announced there would be no bulk pickups. We just switched to a cart trash system. I can’t fit a couch in that. Now my driveway looks horrific. But I do keep adding to the pile.

But neatly.

My favorite thing about this has been longer family game nights. We have them regularly anyway, but without a commute, I can try to stay up later.

Confession. We played Cards Against Humanity with our teenage sons. I’m blaming that one on the desperate times.

So to be brutally honest, the misanthrope in me is doing just fine. I’ve got what I need and a lot of what I want-my family, my pets, health, and a chance to breathe.

Just be you, do what you want/can/need to. And don’t compare with others. You’re doing exactly what you were made to do.
