Another up and down week emotionally as I am sure many of you had. We planted my starter seeds so we'll see how they go. Some may have gone in too late.

 

One one of our walks, the woods were alive with bird calls and scratches from squirrels and chipmunks. The chipmunk below was posing for us instead of scurrying away like they usually do. I caught the squirrel right after it had its face in a hole uncovering its acorn. See the dirt on its whiskers.

 

Here is the May Declutter Calendar. If you fell behind, start again with May instead of trying to catch up.

If you don't have time to do all 7 tips, pick the one or two that are calling to you. Put them on your calendar or to do list.

1. Humans don't deal with uncertainty well. Try feeling the fear for a bit in your body instead of rushing to do something to "control" the situation. See if the feeling lessens and flows through you.
2. Now you can take action from that calmer place instead of the anxiety.
3. As I mentioned in the Facebook group, is there any place this week you can decide to do a B job instead of an A+++ job? Not everything requires your total effort.
4. How can you be a more pleasant person to be around for your family this week? (Or for yourself if you are social distancing alone.)
5. Turn off social media for a day.
6. Think of a project or task you want to start, but haven't. What problems will you avoid by doing it now rather than later?
7. I wish ease, health, joy, and hope for you in May. What do you wish for?
