Wake up early when the house is quiet. Make a great cup of coffee. Write three pages while drinking it.

Walk the dog. Do it alone (well, bring the dog) or with others. I went with my daughter. If you don't have a daughter, just bring someone you love. If you don't have a dog, go out anyway. Just don't poop on someone's lawn.

While outside, notice the people walking and running. Wave. Say hello. Maintain eight feet of distance.

Pick up your dog's poop. I mean, come on. Do a little laundry. Wash the dishes. Take care of things.

Indulge in a hot shower. Feel clean and warm. Let water run over your head while you close your eyes and think nothing at all.

Put on a record. If you don't have a turntable (God help you), play music some other way. Don't wear headphones. Fill the room with music and feel yourself eddy through it.

Read a book. A paper book. One that doesn't ever have to be charged. Read until you're sleepy.

Take a nap. Preferably on the couch. Preferably under a cat.

Eat something good that you made yourself. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich maybe. Make some to share and enjoy it with someone.

Call a friend. Check in with your mother. If you can, call your father. I can't, but I'm talking to him anyway. Being alone is good, being lonely is terrible. Leaving someone alone can be good, leaving them lonely is a sin.

Make your own list of good things and tell me about it.
