I’ve spent more time than usual with my computer over the
past months, and I have a handful of happy things to share today. So here goes:
I so much want to travel somewhere, but until I can I’m
finding ways to visit places virtually. I’ve watched Will Greene’s time lapse video of Acadia National Park twice already—and I only discovered it yesterday!
A St. Petersburg, Florida couple is turning old newspaper
boxes into little free libraries. Especially helpful when libraries are closed
or offering limited services.
I’m still pondering these “Six Lessons We Learned During Lockdown That We Can’t Forget After It Ends.”
“How to Feel Like Things Are Moving When Life Is On Pause”—a few suggestions from the author of Joyful.
Scroll to the bottom of this post by Jen Louden for an
explanation of why so many of us feel angry, and an exercise to “Prevent the

I feel like what David of raptitude.com writes in “Most Accomplishments Are Invisible” is even truer in July than it was in December
when this post went live:
“So if you feel inadequate whenever some form of the ‘achievement Olympics’ comes up, don’t. We live in a society that assesses people by what their lives produce, not what it takes to live them. Inner work is ignored unless it explains some outer work.“That says a lot about society, and nothing about you. Rest assured that many millions of us know the immense value of changing your inner world, or even just surviving it, because we’re doing it quietly alongside you. Most of what the human world accomplishes on any given day is very hard to see.”

There’s a new baby giraffe at Busch Gardens in Tampa. I love
giraffes!
Hope you have a safe and happy weekend!
