Like a lot of people, I'm sure, I definitely have a little bit of anxiety right now. I would like to appear all calm, cool, collected, and centered (as we say in contemplative circles), but I'm not. 

My parents made it home from the States which helps a little. I have family who have already lost jobs and other family members who are still trying to get home, so that's stressful.

A few helpful things have been to connect with family, friends and our faith community online. Feels good to be supported and to provide support. I went for a wonderful hike on Sunday, thus the photo - Eagle Ridge Trail Lookout overlooking Bunzten Lake. And last but not least, Grace. 

This quote from St. Julian of Norwich has been rumbling around in my head. As someone prone to anxiety I find it good to remind myself regularly that everything is okay and is going to be okay. It's been a Divine process to arrive at that and to continue to rest in that.

Here's St. Julian's quote...

"All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."

Wishing you health, peace, and safety.
