Getting out for a walk in the sunshine every day feels like a little slice of heaven. I’ve been walking 7 miles a day!
It’s easy to try to project ahead and figure out what the world might be like after all of this, but I’m reminding myself to stay daily present with the people around me, give thanks, and keep working hard. We made a chicken and rice soup the other night for dinner (recipe coming soon). Simple is good!
