TFFG: Issue Two

My heart and head were heavy this week – the staggering numbers, the politics, the PPE shortage, John Prine. Going from grief to gratitude became a daily and sometimes hourly roller coaster ride. But in my darkest moments I’d search for one feel-good thing, no matter how small, to keep me from falling over the edge. I am so grateful for #quarantinerecipe exchanges and Ina Garten and virtual happy hours and Some Good News and birthday caravans in the pouring rain. Because they add up to a sustainable joy that eating giant spoonfuls of peanut butter dipped in chocolate chips never will. Trust me.

Putting this newsletter together is saving my sanity. So thanks for reading it and for sending me all the videos and memes and tweets and posts. Keep them coming. These were just a few of my favorites from this week – click the image to go to the video. FYI: The ones that are all text may or may not have a link.
