What I’m talking about:

Not much. I’ve kind of shut down this week–not in a bad way, but a necessary way. The world is overwhelming right now. This heat wave in California led me to start reading a book on climate change that is like a horror movie. I’ve also been super busy with my full-time job. My brain is tired.

What I’m grateful for:

Running. I know I’ve expressed gratitude for this before, but it’s so important to me, especially during these crazy times. I braved the humidity this morning to enjoy a beautiful sunrise.
