A few snaps #hiking along the Coast Trail this week

Visited #CelebrationPark in #FederalWay today and walked a chunk of the #BPATrail to clear my head.

Found some nice little mosses and shelf #fungi before I got a bit cold and went home. Gotta find sanity where you can these days.

It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

If you’re fucking stressed & near the end of your tether, go find your local rec/arts/community center and see what classes they have.

Just an afternoon workshop type class, I’m not even talking to committing to long term classes.

Art, cooking, birdhouse building - whatever you see that makes you go, “I’ve wanted to try that!”

It gets you out of the house, away from your phone, and focused on Something Else. And at the end, you have Made A Thing.

It will be good for you. Ask me how I know.

One of the reasons why Evil so often triumphs over Good, is that Good argues endlessly about whether or not its members are "sufficiently good", while Evil gleefully accepts all applicants.
