Truth be told, this was a pre-comfort doughnut, procured last week on my lunch break from the office, just a couple of days before this weekend’s vacation in Maine. I’m posting it now as I reacclimatize to the daily drudge, dipping back into the swirling waters of stress, all while trying to retain some of the calm that being in our happy place by the sea always conjures. Those posts are coming, but first the simple comfort of a doughnut, even if it’s just a doughnut in memory.
When returning to reality, it’s best to take things in small steps, which is really the best way to deal with just about everything. On the Tuesday after a long weekend, when just getting out of bed can feel insurmountable, I will endeavor to follow this, taking one tiny step at a time.
And perhaps I’ll have a doughnut.
