I am grateful for so much, yet still have those days.

When I just feel blue and a bit weepy, even scared. And like WTF!

It happens, especially when I think about the situation in the world right now, all the people who are at risk on so many levels. I'm feeling sad. I missed spending Passover with my family. When will we be together again?

"Who needs a mask when you have a Hetty?" (That's one of my scarves serving as a face mask while he walks his canine roommate, Obie). This put a smile on my face.

To raise my spirits on my last "blue day," I ate a dark chocolate Petit Ecolier cookie (only 1, but still it was 9:30 AM!). And then I talked to my sister on the phone for an hour--her husband is just recovering from the virus. And then I ate some kettle corn, only about 3 hand fulls--but still. Then called a friend, drank a cup of tea, lay on the couch, ate some more and looked out the window. Then I got this Instagram post from my son Alex in San Francisco, which was a total mood booster.

Here are some of my other low go-to's.

Free Donuts at Dunkin'

I know I know! I couldn't resist. Last week, I ate mine before 11am. Every Friday, Dunkin' is giving out a free donut. All you have to do is order a drink.

Some Good Tunes

I use Spotify (thank you, kids!) while I exercise, dance, chill, weave, work. It's all there. Valerie Carter always lifts my spirits. Wanna dance?

A Chocolaty Care Package

Send some treats from Dean's Sweets in Portland, Maine. My favorites? The dark chocolate sea salt caramels. I met Dean at one of my shows.

Might be a bit much but you gotta do what you gotta do!

Online Shopping

I just bought myself a new trash can for the TV room. I know sounds bleak but the old one is rusty (!) and old and ugly. Here's my new one.
