This one came in as I was walking to my counseling office after a two week break. I wanted to text back and thank them!!
But, I didnโt. You can๐
I switched to a stand up desk during covid. I love it now.

Taking in the quiet of winter on a chilly walk and realizing growth doesnโt happen instantly. Thereโs a long, slow build up to spring. That thought is comforting
My job here is done๐

Weโve accumulated quite a bit of snow in the last few weeks, all to be washed away in a warm downpour tomorrow.

Howโs your Tuesday going๐คฃ
So many clients coming in with coughs and sniffles๐ฑ
I find myself spraying door handles and hands after so many sessions!
I work at home on Friday, and my home office looks out over this view. I looked up and noticed this scene and had to walk outside to take it in.
I could never work without access or a view to the outdoors and never have.
I used the last of the toilet paper this morning, and I didnโt put a new roll on the holder!๐ฑ.
It felt good๐คฃ
