How many of us are putting on the COVID-19? ...Like the freshman 15, but probably not as fun. Does eating stave off the monotony of Sheltering in Place?

Frustration. Anxiety. Aggravation. These are some of the feelings I have when things happen that are outside of my control. I had to take a test the other day. I prepared for weeks and felt pretty good about it. I was ready to get it over with.

Calendars are great. They help us remember even what we want to forget; those things we wish with all our heart could be forgotten, or better yet, had never happened. When those anniversaries approach, even in safe times in safe relationships, such things feel unsafe and relationships feel, for a time, less comfortable. Anniversaries are a double-edged sword in our culture. [ 456 more words. ]

If you asked me who my best friend was growing up, I could tell you without even having to think about it. Most of us, hopefully, can say they’ve had a best friend and that they wouldn’t have to think very hard about who that person is. Nevertheless, things change. Times change. If you moved away or your best friend moved away, the relationship has probably atrophied over the years. [ 410 more words. ]
