Right before this coronavirus thing really took hold, I swam with manatees. It is easily one of my favorite memories of 2020. Go to your happy memories, today. Go to your gratitude. Look for the stuff that makes you happy. Make lists, and make writing the lists of “your happy stuff” a priority today. This will be your best fuel for a quiet, moody Monday in 2020. This will keep your energy light and bright and clear and strong.
Oh, I am so envious. Since the first time I saw one of those big, kind faces as a child, I have loved manatees. One day I will swim with them, too. They just look so cuddly — well, you know, as cuddly as something without fur can be — like I could give them a hug and just rest against their gentle solidness. I’m glad you have this lovely experience in your memory store.
Thank you, Cecille. You described the manatees, perfectly!
