 Spring is here even in the midst of a pandemic and ongoing cancer survivorship.

I struggle with what I call my "worry brain." The sky is not falling and looking outdoors and being outdoors reminds me of that truth. The size and scope of nature compared to the relatively tiny space of my four walls called home calms me. What is happening to humanity right now is terrible and tragic, and in this moment, I can take a breath and tell myself I am okay. Try it for yourself.
