changes of pace (Patreon)

Life is wild, and the pacing right now feels such that I can't keep up. 

I'm working at the same grocery store that left me miserable and in pain last spring. Living in my parents' basement again. It's hard not to feel like I've slid backwards. Atop that pile of feelings is a constant anxiety that I'm going to contract Covid-19. 

So I'm looking for joy in the small places, from going on walks, to rediscovering books and games that I haven't enjoyed in a while, to laying in the sun in my parents' backyard with a glass of rose. I'm trying to accept the changes that are happening in my body, as it adjusts to a different lifestyle than I lived over the winter. I'm plotting how many escapes I can make to the mountains to hike- or just explore- away from people & established (but closed) trailheads. 

I'm happy to report that I've got some little goodies from this week in the queue for you all, and I hope you have patience with me as I create more whenever I'm able.
