OPTIONS & ATTITUDE

How are we coping with life five months into this strange restrictive reality? My attitude fluctuates, but I’m trying to see what options I can exercise.

WHAT IF…..?

What if…..? What if I died tomorrow? That may not be a typical ‘what if’ question, but this 2020 spring, it’s a more common consideration.
