Cate Stillman’s Quick Recovery Guide
Thanks to Cate Stillman for sharing these quick and easy tips for comforting, grounding, and realigning after sustaining trauma. Actually, I’m all for warm, tasty, moist one-pot meals and walking throughout the cool and cold season. Most of these tips would be of service for healthy and happy day to day living regardless–just add some fresh things from the garden or the farmer’s market and double or triple the walking time.
Late Afternoon Walk
The excessive dryness and unseasonable warmth make me anxious. Sixties fahrenheit and dry may feel good in San Francisco, but here it just is out of place for the existing flora and fauna. Still, I made sure to get out and enjoy the exquisite afternoon that it was. I find the skies of drought achingly beautiful and mysterious.
It was also nice, but peculiar to go out into the backyard and pick nearly a pint of ripe grape tomatoes.
