I am trying to be more OK with just being.

That is my weekend epiphany and my immediate reality.

After suffering through a sleepless week and living with a plethora of tragic news, including the loss of my beloved pup, I am just trying to accept my shelter in place life and take it one day at a time.

I am trying to stay healthy by hiking which is my daily highlight and committing to doing pilates, arms and abs three times a week.

I have reached out to friends old and new, contributed to humanitarian and political causes.

I need to accept my Type A personality tendencies and realize that the best I can do is self-quarantine and keep my mind and body active and indulge in a daily adult beverage.

I am probably not going to invent the next great whatever or change the world.

What I am doing right now is being the best I can be.
