Great advice! Thank you.

Thanks for reminding us that there's always some small thing one can do to make the world a little better. I immediately went to Episcopal Relief and donated money to a woman's savings and loan in Africa. A small gesture of love on a day when I was feeling desperately sad. Now to write my day 7 poem for National Poetry Month.

Starting the day with "the sound of birds" is always wonderful!

I so needed this! Love the tip of only reading news once a day, not toggling to and fro, interacting all day. Wise! Will do.

What great advice. I’m part of the news business and even I don’t start my day with news or social media. It’s dogs and coffee and NYT games for me.

You really can scan or read the news once a day, quick, and be just as informed as everyone else.

Can it be birds and a LARGE coffee? :-)

I usually have a small coffee followed by another small coffee which, combined, is basically a large coffee so yes
