As we find ourselves with time we didn’t think we would initially have, I’m hopeful that we get to refocus and use these slower days for things that are good, restful, and bring joy. Perhaps at the end of it all, we won’t be as hardwired to work ourselves into the ground. Perhaps we’ll understand that there’s so much beauty in the mundane. Perhaps we’ll have more empathy and kindness and grace for others.

Perhaps our world will be a much happier place with longer hugs and deeper laughs when we’re able to be together again.

Praying that you stay safe and feel loved this Monday, friends.
