Recently I’ve made risotto on election nights. There’s something meditative about stirring rice, adding liquid, more butter, Parmesan. My suggestion.

Robin, I remember watching a short video on YouTube many years ago. It was a young woman, a teenager, who was talking about how hard it is sometimes to deal with life. Sometimes it’s just overwhelming. When it all got to be too much, she took a breath and said, “In this moment, I’m okay. In this moment, I’m okay.” I was never able to find that video again, but I’ve thought of it so many times over the years. Your post has just that message. Thank you for reminding me. I’m guessing we can all use “one moment at a time” thinking for the next few days or so.

Sending you calming thoughts.
