One of the schools in my district posted a really moving video of staff and students with rainbows. The song that played in the background was this one, "Rainbow" by Kacey Musgraves. I cant' really get it out of my head.
Today is a rainy day and I am looking for the rainbow. The sadness is here today. I know there are blessings, I know there are lessons, I know there are upsides. I have much to be grateful for. But I just miss real life so much today. How are you? Let's help each other find the rainbow.

Yes, I also have rain today. I'm feeling a little wonky without the sunshine, too. I like how you said I miss real like so much. That phrase is very simple, yet so true. Hang on.

Emotional fragility is real. Thinking of you as you navigate this time. The support of this writing group has been an incredible force during these perplexing days of the quarantine. Thanks for sharing this vulnerability and what is making it more bearable. <3

I think the weekends are harder. We already have downtime and time at home. I think the lack of schedule is harder and it seems to hit home more. I feel guilty being grateful. Hang in there.

Oh, Kathy, that song and your words really got to me. Today's rain does makes the rainbow seem elusive. Sunny days have been easier I've found. I love your honesty, your openness. Sending hugs,

Oh yes - you are not alone! It's almost like we can find hope when the sun is out...but on a rainy Saturday with no sports and no shopping, we're left with cooking! I'm doing cookies!

I have had a few 'rainy' days myself this week. I am a very optimistic, positive person, but those days were hard. Today I decided I was taking a day off... from work, laundry, groceries, cooking, 'adulting'. It has been just what the doctor ordered. Ironically it is raining outside today... and I'm ok. I think we have to know the rainy days will come and go, but we have to look forward to the sun. (Literally and figuratively!) Here is to a sunny day tomorrow.
