Day 256: Covid Birthday Gifts
Covid birthday gifts humorously and delightfully involved UGG slippers, an Apple Watch to make sure I’m actually moving, and this chair! As I work from home, I feel grateful to feel these pandemic birthday perfect gifts!
Day 224: Fish that also like bread
Is wonderful because you go to the pond to feed the ducks who are full. But not the fish! (Impossible to see?)
Day 206: Didn’t Cry Over Spilt Milk
But I did laugh.

Day 96: 17 Miles Out of Quarantine
Hello! Quarantine Courtney checking in, you cool cats and kittens. Today I broke out my bike. It only took me 2 years and a global pandemic! 17 miles paired with some worship music never felt so good.
Day 90: Humor in the Form of Memes During a Pandemic
Day 70: Another Day of Crisis…Where Can We Find the Wonder?
It’s another day of fear over: politics (and mourning over not potentially having a woman president), the pandemic of the coronavirus, schools subsequently shutting down until fall or moving online, the ever-plunging stock market, just to name a few. In my personal life, family have been canceling travel plans. My grandmother, in her late eighties, has had a pneumonia for three weeks. I’m scared. I think we all are.
What we are experiencing as a world is unprecedented. So how do we find wonder? In crisis, it’s imperative to find the wonder.
Today, I wasn’t sure. But there were brief glimpses of wonder. Humor over a tweet. The joy of reheating and repurposing my homemade Turkey burgers from last night, my sister kicking butt on her final practicals in dental school, my grandpa and grandma’s voices on the other end of my phone line (and the opening of Del Taco in Stillwater).
