Processing my thinking in writing is one way I take control of things, especially in uncertain times. In crafting a narrative, I seek meaning in the experience, step back just far enough to get the perspective I need to understand.
I’m never sorry when I carve out the time to get started.
Always grateful to have a place to share.
