During these trying times, I’m trying to
- be a good mother,
- help people cope with anxiety and depression,
- remain positive,
- stay safe,
- stay healthy,
- overcome my resistance to doing tasks I want to avoid (like our taxes),
- understand people’s irrational behaviors,
- be kind,
- watch the Olympics,
- read,
- balance my needs with other people’s needs,
- set and maintain healthy boundaries,
- create another great presentation about my groups,
- be an ally for social justice,
- reduce my carbon footprint,,
- figure out how to celebrate National Toothache Day, and
- identify a common theme for today’s images.









We’re also trying to maintain a good environment for our gregarious cat Joan and our shy cat Harley.
Here’s “Trying” by The Staves.
What are you trying during these trying times?
As always, I’m trying to express how grateful I am to all who help me create these daily blogs, including YOU.
