Very little

Sometimes you just need to practice piano in your dino costume

To be honest, I have very little to show or write about this week. January and February can both be uninspiring, dreary months at the best of times (especially when the only snow to be found is in erratic, dirty little patches scattered here and there).  But this year... let's just say I have been finding it more and more difficult to remain engaged and optimistic in the face of what is becoming daily displays of the worst of humanity. 

Juniper specifically wanted to take a trip to the library to read up on Martin Luther King Jr.

 But, of course, the weeks trudge on, filled with all the little ups and downs that make up our ordinary days, regardless.  Sometimes in the face of what seem like insurmountably awful displays of hate and fear, the most important action one can take is to foster the seeds of hope and empathy and kindness in your own little microcosm.  To promote awareness and engagement, but also to create a space of safety, normalcy, and happiness.  Perhaps if this becomes engrained, it will spread its roots in years to come. There is, at the very least, hope.

Linden set out to create a "scientific research vessel".  Not bad, imho!

So - a peaceful, happy week.  I shall go ponder that one for awhile, and see what comes of it.  Wishing you all the same!
