I'm so grateful for your writing this. It's so important to name and acknowledge our feelings, and I feel you have done this well. Personally I have a Covid+household member right now and that has definitely been a worrisome event. I have survived the last year better mainly in thanks to my meditation and mindfulness practice, which has become more serious since joining other likeminded people since May 2021. I now have a daily practice and it gives me something to look forward to, to find clarity and focus, and most importantly, find a way to feel joy-even from the same room I've been in since January 2020! I'm also lucky to be a licensed patient of plant based medicine, which has helped my pain, chronic health issues, and anxiety. I'm also writing continuously, which is the most challenging thing I have undertaken, so I am being gentle with my needs, and take the time to care for myself when writing has me feeling intense emotion.

Thanks for being honest about your writing. These are difficult circumstances to be productive and creative through. Let's all cut each other more slack in 2022!
