“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.”(Quote attributed both to Joseph P. Kennedy, father of President John F. Kennedy, and football player/coach Knute Rockne)
As it remains to be seen just how tough things are going to get on the world stage, I’m toughening it out by embracing life’s simple pleasures within the sanctity of my own home, or close by.
Listening to ambient music while at the keyboard imbues a sense of calm.
Reading spirits me away to another realm.
As the weather becomes more user-friendly, I’ll resume foraging for sea glass at a nearby beach, enjoying the cacophony of seagulls squawking overhead.
In the capacity of a writer, I’m toughening out drafting my Contemporary work in progress. Chapter 12 is complete at 1404 words. Chapter 13 has progressed to 283 words thus far.
*As the going gets tough, may each of us implement our own coping mechanisms to foster peace of mind.My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
