I had a little "meetup" with friends last night. You know the kind: not actually in person, but on Zoom like a work meeting, except after work and with non-work friends. My (sweet and insightful) friend told me it looked like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I'm sure it did... I could stare right back at my own image... ...in fact, with Zoom I could stare right back at my own image and see exactly what she was talking about in real time. It wasn't pretty, folks. For one thing, I need to work on my video-call lighting set-up. And maybe I also need to place an online order for some new makeup. But I digress.
It's probably true that I have been worrying about things more than I need to. But you know what else is true? I have been waiting for SO MANY THINGS. We have all been waiting... ...for our states or cities to reopen ...for test results ...to hear who won the proposal ...for furloughs to end ...for PPP loans or EIDL grants or stimulus checks ...for school to end ...for summer to start ...for our grocery deliveries ...for newly planted gardens to grow ...to be let in to that next web call Whatever it is that you are waiting for, take a deep breath and let the weight slip off. We're all in this together. You don't have to carry it all yourself!
