Although this photo was taken in my zone at work, I amongst many am doing my best to maintain joy in part of the daily workflow at home. We may be stuck inside more than usual, but there are aspects to our days that could not be if it weren't for the abnormal circumstance. While working from home I can simultaneously enjoy the sunroom, listen to music, take breaks to make a hot lunch or shoot some content for social. I can also use the many surfaces around the house and patio to “style” my next story. Perhaps I could study more Italian or try to learn the piano that has been sitting in this house for longer than I’ve been alive? And yes, more writing for me! Really, there is so much you can get out of this homebound experience, diving into things you don’t allow yourself enough time to do otherwise.

I believe in maintaining awareness outside our four walls, but please don’t let the news bog you down. We all need to maintain some sort of peace within. Take this time in your abode to replicate what brings you bliss for the current you and the future you.
