I feel like I’m continually adjusting these days. I sort of get the hang of a thing (online school, online work, online shopping) and then it changes, so I have to play catch-up.

And while the hows and whens of things keep shifting, there are a few solid anchors in the Purple House for which I am profoundly grateful.

• Humor. No matter how nutsy things get, we are all ready to laugh at the foibles of being human — and at ourselves!
• Humility. We know we are going to bug & be bugged by each other. So when it happens, it’s neither surprising nor a big deal.
• Love. Underlying everything we’re doing is a solid foundation of deep, abiding love. I have never felt that more securely than I do right now.
• Friendship. We not only love each other, we genuinely like each other. I absolutely appreciate how lucky I am to be part of that.
• Good stuff big and small… like going out to howl at the super moon, washing dishes family-style, Ida adoring her new stuffy, video chats with our extended framily, and the sweet joy of Ida finding Easter eggs hidden by our darling friends. ❤️
