    It’s getting boring around here, Y’all! And I’m an introvert who loves lots of low-key activities. But it’s still boring! I’m thinking about getting a new hobby.

    What hobbies have I had in the past?

    A Hopeful Poem

    The other night, Henry and I were out in our neighborhood. He was on his rollerblades, and I was on foot. We came across a hopeful poem, posted on a neighbor’s lawn. I took a picture of it so I could share it with you. I didn’t realize it had already gone viral! Of course it had. I am never hip enough to “break the news” on something! It makes me laugh.

    Regardless, maybe one or two of you haven’t heard it? This is for you!

    And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new
