Strange thing what I’m about to share, because it’s just a recap of what you already know. 

There’s a thing in California called a “super bloom” which happens about once every decade.

Reflecting on these past few months of sheltering-in-place, it feels as if time has moved quickly and slowly at the same time.

Summer looks very different this year. Shelter-in-place means less travel, fewer events to attend (if any), camps closed, not even summer blockbusters to avoid spoilers for until we can go to the movies.

We can’t go back to the way things were. So how do we move forward in hope?

One day, one week, one month at a time. But what sustains in times of prolonged endurance? I have found gratitude to be one of those key things.
