Today's small joy and small helping is to take care of a friend's dog while he is at work. No one could help but laugh when seventy pounds of puppy somehow makes himself a space on your lap and then throws his massive head back so he stares into your eyes from two inches away and upside down.

I have no ideas for making sad times better. I'm hugging a lot of people as often as I can. This is gorgeous writing, and I love you.

Bring in the light through mitzvot (good deeds). It's the only thing I can think of. Thank you for this xox

My son has been sending me more pictures of our grandbaby every few hours. It is his intention to focus as much energy on her and share that with us. She is pure joy. I worry I put too much hope on her, but there must be hope.

I’m teaching myself dialectical behavioral therapy: DBT. One of the main elements is mindfulness meditation. It’s not easy but I’m worth it.

Yes, you are. I'll admit I've been bad about keeping up with meditation, so thank you for the reminder.

I am prioritizing regular deep talks while walking slowly along the river and sitting in field with a friend.
