Hi! Ok, what day is it? Friday? Star date: March 27, 2020. How's everyone doing? Everyone "coping" ok? Yeah, it's perfectly fine if you're not. But I would prefer if you were, so I'm going to try to help. Before I get into it, it's time for the sakura (cherry blossoms) to spread their beauty in Japan. Unfortunately the traditional gatherings of friends underneath their blooms to meet for food and drink and good cheer (Hanami) is officially canceled due to COVID-19. But, we can still think about the meanings behind sakura and hanami. In Japan the Sakura represents a time of renewal and optimism at the end of winter and start of spring, and remind us that life is short and beautiful. And since life is short and beautiful, no matter what's going on on the CNN news ticker (turn it off....really.....just turn the news off), we should fill it with meaningful time. I'm going to first ask you to accept that shit sucks. It's going to suck f
If you're living with a chronic illness, you're in the right place.
