Friday (not shown): Rice bowls with eye of round, sautéed greens & peppers, tomatoes & avocado, plus chili garlic sauce.

This is more in nature of a reminder to myself than anything else. It’s almost noon and I haven’t walked the dogs or made the bed or exercised or written good words or learned anything… I haven’t even taken a shower. It’s not a good sign when I’m trying to give myself Shine for putting on pants. Go, me, I’m wearing clothing…

But, in fact, even if I’m an abysmal marketer who doesn’t know how to sell books, and even if I’m a lousy writer all out of ideas, and even if I’m a bad mom whose son doesn’t care about her, much less love her, I’m still doing a damn good job of feeding an essential worker. Go, me.

Sometimes we have to take our Shine where we can get it.
