It took me a long time to decide what the topic of this month’s blog post was going to be. I have several different draft posts sitting on the back burner, along with a few other ideas that I haven’t written out yet. When it came time to start writing for this month, I considered all of those. All of them seemed to fall flat. All those subjects felt like such little things, unworthy of my attention at the moment. My thoughts on Valentine’s Day may be relevant to the season, but it feels trivial to focus on that compared with the chaos in the world at large. On the other hand, I don’t feel equipped to write about the social or political problems of this time. What I can tell you about – with the highest degree of authority – is how I’m personally coping. When everything feels too big, what I need to do focus on is all the little things.
