- deal with new problems creating these posts because of changes on WordPress,
- blog on my phone this morning,
- get ready to resume working from home as a group and individual psychotherapist,
- attend a challenging Zoom meeting,
- set healthy boundaries,
- respect myself and others,
- balance preparation with spontaneity,
- deal with technological glitches,
- deal with human glitches,
- recover and learn from mistakes,
- accept my natural impatience and sensitivities,
- encounter disappointment,
- feel helpless,
- rush to respond to people as quickly as possible,
- plan my 50th high school reunion on Zoom, and
- face the uncertainties we are all encountering, here and now.

I also stay calm by noticing and expressing gratitude, so thanks to all who help me create these daily posts, including YOU.
