Sneaky Past Me prepared for my current low by signing me up for three stepped-up volunteer gigs.
Last month, it was really difficult to keep up with them all while struggling.
This month, I'm thankful for the entrenchment in community even though my brain wanted to crawl in a hole.
Being present and being useful are *such* good curatives for thinking one's run out of reasons to keep going.
...Even if Past Brain needs to drag Current Brain kicking and screaming into the practice sometimes. 🙃
We all just want to belong somewhere, eh?
Sometimes it's hard, though.
Sometimes all your efforts just keep getting undone time after time after time.
And there are no easy answers, except the annoyingly easiest one of all:
You've just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other, until something, somewhere, eventually goes right.
(Or until you're no longer in any state to complain when it goes wrong! 😂 Either/or!)
