Just here to say that the world is a better place with you in it. Thanks for making me smile when so much of my time is spent thinking about the world being on fire. And then I spiral... Is it bad for me to find joy when so many are suffering and living in fear and when our country is threatening to attack another country???

Your writing introduced me to the phrase "hurting your own feelings" and it is a concept I didn't even realize I needed articulated. Thank you! and apologies to my children who likely do not appreciate when I keep telling them to stop doing it.

p.s. if you need something bright in these dark days, I recommend these passion fruit bars. And if you really need a project, order fresh passion fruits from some far-flung place, and then make your own passion fruit curd (definitely an unnecessary but enjoyable step) https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/passion-fruit-bars-recipe
