LOUNGY LAZY LOVELY

Hi. How are you? Me? I’m great. Fantastic. Never been better. It’s sunny and gorgeous out and we are headed to the swing set for the 100th time today! Yay! We get to swing again. OMG!! Amazing. I know. Life is truly magnificent. And not hard at all. #blessed. Ok…. so we’re all a little shitty. A little stir freaking crazy. Afraid for the future. We are all the things and it’s ok to feel all the things right now. And if you’re currently having a mimosa, cheers!! TGIF!

I listened to Brene Brown this afternoon (courtesy of reminder from @eliseloehnen from GOOP). Smart move. She (Brene Brown) was all the things, including, the simple act of being ok with not knowing what the fuck we are doing. (It’s ok, she cusses, and let’s not point the finger.) Her soothing voice (and cuss words actually) calmed me at a time when i needed calming. I think we could all use some calming. Case in point, my mama tonight on a Zoom chat. And here’s why.
