DO YOU FEEL BURIED? We got buried under 50 centimeters (20 inches) of snow this weekend. It was brutal! I pushed a lot of snow this weekend. My daily workouts. It's kind of a metaphor for me right now. And probably for many of you. February is usually a hard month. This one feels harder. (And for many years Lisa and I would get away somewhere warm for a week this month or next but there's no hope of that. No sun or sand at the end of the tunnel.) I saw where Glennon Doyle wrote a note to Adele who had to cancel an event and felt so terrible. Basically, Glennon reminded Adele of the hard times we're going through and not to be too hard on herself. Everyone's struggling. These are extraordinary times. Many of us are trying to perform at our peak and reach our goals and continue on our accustomed paths. But, really, it's kind of silly to expect to be able to do that. It reminded me to be gentler with myself. Maybe you could be kinder to yourself. More gentle. More gracious. Do you think so? |
