A friend is struggling mightily right now, and she’s not alone in her feeling of overwhelm and hopelessness. Every one of us is dealing with personal stuff on top of the societal and planetary crises. I want to note this here and now, as a reminder for the next time someone cuts me off in traffic or doesn’t return a wave or any number of completely trivial things that might wind me up.
Everyone is dealing with way too much these days. But we’re all in this together and we are all we’ve got.

I’m at the point of “pandemic brain” in which I need to put things into words in order to make them a habit. HA!

A very good point, Tracy. I’m always having to remind myself to be more tolerant. We don’t know what personal struggles those around us are going through.
One of my pet hates is when someone says to another person, “Cheer up, love, it might never happen. How do they know it hasn’t already?

It’s easy for all of us to lose sight of the other person’s situation, Lesley. But I can tell from conversing with you here that you’ve got that base covered in terms of kindness and sensitivity. π
