Those of us who are calm and largely unflappable are becoming short with those who are panicking and anxious as fuck just as the latter is shook by the former.

We’re all just trying to process the blow. We’re all doing our best whether it’s panic and planning or breathing and tuning out.

It’s still fresh and we all have various reasons for why we react the way that we have.

Be kind to yourselves.

Be kind to each other.

Love you, #CoSonauts.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Canadian #Cosonauts! 🇨🇦 May you have a day plentiful with love, togetherness, tasty meals and beautiful fall leaves. 🍁

Good morning #Cosonauts. Slept very poorly last night between anxious feelings and anticipation of early morning Doctor's appointment to prep for #IVF. Waiting now in the medical office building which is becoming less and less deserted as the minutes tick by.

The journey this morning (walk, local transit, walk) was brisk like a beautiful fall morning in late October. I am here for it. I am not, however, here for the pungent aroma of skunk that had me constantly sweeping the peripherals.

Good morning, #Cosonauts. Wishing you the very best that Tuesday has to offer you!

So can you even digest dairy anymore?

(I am asking you, #Cosonauts over 35.)

Good morning, #Cosonauts. A reminder from your friendly neighborhood healthcare worker:

Grill safety, sun safety and cookout food safety are just as important as fireworks safety today.

Keep family at a safe distance from the grill or fire pit, wear your sunblock, and don’t leave your food out in the hot sun all day (even if it’s hot food.)

Good morning #Cosonauts. MotherDucker, here, coming at you live from our SW PA camping vacation. Nothing much to report so far, except that I went to bed way too late and kiddo (disoriented upon waking) woke me way too early before promptly going right back to sleep, herself. Alas, once I’m up, I’m up.

Now to find the #coffee around here because I need about a 5 gallon bucket of it.

Good morning, #cosonauts. Wishing you sufficient caffeine, motivation, and serenity for the day ahead. Be kind to yourselves.

🎶Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy.🎶
Trying to start the new day fresh after the gloom I felt yesterday. Be the joy in someone’s day today. You never know who needs it. #cosonauts #cosonautscare

Good morning, #cosonauts! Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to each and all. I am off to work, but I am done at 3 and I can’t wait to see the surprise my 6yo has been preciously keeping a secret since she came home from school on Friday. What a love bug!

Good morning #cosonauts. The birds (indoor and outdoor) are chirping, the sun is shining, it looks like it might be a beautiful day. Remember that it’s okay to take a break from the news (I’m telling myself as much as you.)

Happy Earth Month, #cosonauts! Will you be participating in any kind of eco-challenge, large or small, this April?

Good morning #cosonauts! Heads up, it’s April 1st/April Fools. Don’t get got today. 🤨

Dad is getting discharged from hospital. So very grateful today for that. I am also grateful for the kindness, empathy and generosity of #Cosonauts who always have the ability, motivation, and bandwidth to lift others up with gestures big and small that make a massive difference.

Power is back on this morning, thank goodness. Hello Thursday and hello to you, #Cosonauts. 👋

Good morning, #Cosonauts.

Finished two books I’d been reading yesterday and now I’m facing the debacle of finishing either of these two epic fantasies: The Jasmine Throne (50% in already) by Tasha Suri, A Day of Fallen Night (30% into it) by Samantha Shannon—or starting the sci-fi thriller: Winter World by A.G. Riddle.

Or I could be the WORST and just find something new and not already on my physical or digital bookshelf. I haven’t been to the library in a while…

What have you got going on today, #cosonauts? What's cooking? What errands are we running? What books are we reading? What shows are we binging? What existential crises are we suffering? What is warming our hearts? What is making us feel sad, mad, elated or excited?

How are you doing?

If I haven’t said it enough, I am so grateful to this #community of #Cosonauts. Thank you all for being so full of empathy, reason, and listening ears (eyes, actually.) Thank you for always making space for me and for others when we need an outlet. I love you, #coso.
