Hi, Kelly Eden here from Medium.
I’m feeling very grateful that it’s warm here today. We’ve had a week in lock-down now in New Zealand—like many of you probably are—so it’s been nice to get outside for bike rides and walks in the sunshine. It was just what I needed.
I’ve noticed some people are coping pretty well with all this—doing huge projects around the house, getting fit, writing novels.
It’s great to see that, but I don’t think it’s necessarily what we all need to be doing.
I read an article this week where a writer described life as tidal. I loved that analogy. There are certainly many highs and lows in life. That’s why I don’t think we all need to be doing a huge project right now.
Some of us are more effected by the low-tide time we currently find ourselves in. If you’re one of those people, know that’s its okay to rest: to just stick to your rock.
You can do your big project when the tide rises again.
I’ve been writing quite a bit about this lately:
