Yesterday, during what felt like an age of anxiety on Easter 2020 at a Boston Whole Foods Market, I noticed this magazine in a check-out line:
I’m pretty sure that magazine came out before COVID-19 anxiety, which is aging all of us. During any age of anxiety, it helps to know that you are not alone, as that magazine cover reminds us.
Do you see evidence of the age of anxiety in the other images I captured yesterday?
I’ve been experiencing an age of anxiety because my INR has not been within range for TWO MONTHS (partly because of my having COVID-19 and taking antibiotics for suspected pneumonia), until yesterday.
I celebrated my INR being in range with …
… chocolate bunnies (on sale)!
Here‘s a post I wrote, during a different age, about how to reduce anxiety (which can multiply as quickly as bunnies).
Do any of my photos, above, reduce your anxiety? This is my favorite anxiety-reducing photo from today’s post:
That neighborhood cat seems to be doing okay during this age of anxiety.
Here is The Age of Anxiety (Symphony #2) written by Leonard Bernstein in 1949, inspired by the 1947 W.H. Auden poem The Age of Anxiety:
There have been many ages of anxiety throughout our evolutionary transitions. How are you getting through this one?
As always, I’m getting through this age of anxiety with gratitude.
