January coping: In a world in which I am unable to hibernate, I seek solace by waking up in the dark, leaving the house as the sun rises, running or lifting heavy things for the better part of an hour, working in a quiet space all by myself, punctuating the day with snacks and meals, going on one long walk if weather permits, then returning home.
I have seen such beautiful sunrises and sunsets in this first week of 2024.
