Back when we were just a couple of weeks in to the social isolation protocol, and schools had been closed for almost 3 weeks, Mollie Johanson of the blog Wild Olive revisited and old post that was very fitting for our current times (and my own mood). While many people in lockdown have had the time to learn a new language, or a musical instrument, or try a new skill (crafts!), or even clean and organize their entire house, that doesn’t hold true for everyone. And, it can make you feel quite “less than” if you haven’t accomplished quite so much. But, for many people, getting through the day is enough of a challenge and not everyone does have the “luxury” of all of that extra free time. So, her pattern (available here) is a reminder that you should just do what you can, and that will be good enough.
Very a propos. Kudos to all the people who managed to do all that stuff. It wasn’t me! I like that this is not an ornate design; it fits the simplicity of the message.
