A Useful List Of What Is Still Happening

some helpful wisdom from my readers

Yesterday morning I started a thread on our subscriber chat and I was so heartened by the responses, I wanted to share some of them here.

What I posted:

“Yesterday on my walk I saw tiny new buds on this tree I've passed each day of WInter, and below it, as if they were a team, the green of new tulips. And I thought, "Spring is still happening". Then I thought, "Gladness is still happening", and "The love Eric and I share is still happening" and "Cookies are still happening".

And then I thought I'd start this thread so you can add to my list.

Name what, even though so much is being taken away, is still happening....”
