This gave me a boost.

My version of “showing up” looked different today.

I straightened and dusted off a set of shelves that were cluttered. Instead of scrolling on Facebook, I unsubscribed from a bunch of emails I usually ignore. And then I treated myself to a couple chapters from a new book, in a cozy chair I almost never sit in.
