Productivity (and hope) going down the drain šæ
Frankly the two kind of go hand in hand... š¤£ Though gosh, I only started this last week!
Total Recovered Globally: 87,363+
(8,293+ more than Friday! According to Johns Hopkins CSSE, 1:45PM March 22, 2020)
DailyĀ Blast ofĀ Happy News
People helping each other grab groceries #actsofkindness š
On seeing cases slowing down in certain areas š„

Vaccine development has already begun (months ago) in many countries like China, Japan, including human trials in the US as of recent
On creating resources for Peace Corp volunteers abroad to get back home š¤
OK OK, so I said Iād post daily but I missed a dayā¦
I mean, thatās alright, right? The point is you get back on the horse, right? š“
Me to me: Yes. Yes, thatās right. You are right. You are always right. š (Woah a italic-ized emoji looks weird AF).
So yeah, I missed Saturday. Iām sure thatās going to happen now and again. I think itās just because it actually does take a decent amount of time to find āhappyā news that are being reported. And then thereās the mental battle of, whatās the point of it all? I mean when I finally begin to draft these posts, I realize that the point is āhopeā. But thereās that activation energy (ooo science), to even get to the point where I personally feel hopeful enough to begin writing or researching.
Not to mention the weather in Seattle is going to be rather dreary this upcoming week. Time to pull out the vitamin D supplements and light therapy lamps if youāve got them!
My personal goal to keep up the hope/discipline/motivation is to continue writing these posts. š¤ And continue creating podcast episodes. And continue washing the dishes. And continue ramping up on my new jobā¦ and continue calling my parentsā¦ and continue stretchingā¦ š
