The Therapeutic Evolution of Recreation During the Pandemic
The therapy of recreation is not new and something we can do ourselves. I am here to tell you so. Let’s face it, the pandemic is not over. No matter what the changing daily headlines say the numbers speak for themselves. Not a plateau in sight currently. The encouragement is always there to stay at home if you can, work from home if at all possible, so those that can are. Even if you have to go to work you are likely still spending your free time where it is safer to be, at home.

I Forgive You, Dad
I had a difficult relationship with my father, but not for same reason as other kids. I was not a rebellious rule-breaker and he was not overly strict or neglectful. He did not abuse me or my mother. He was always attentive, generous and ready to help. On outward appearances he was the kind of father my friends wished they had, yet I felt ashamed and guilty for wishing I had a ‘normal’ dad.

I Think I'm Outgrowing My Friends
Picture this: you're out with two of your friends that you've known back in college for nearly a decade. The three of you are in your mid-twenties. You're eating at a restaurant. They offer delectable brown bread and butter for free that comes before appetizers and/or your main meal. The three of you are going out to celebrate one of your friend's recent success of picking up a "big boy job" after working two years in retail. You're all in high spirits, ready to enjoy a 1000-plus-calorie meal. It's good vibes all around.

Now, You’re Speaking My Language
Did you know love had a language? I had no idea it spoke anything other than butterflies in the stomach, flutters in the heart, & sometimes tears in the eyes. Turns out, love has multiple languages, & just like others—it has to be learned because everyone speaks it differently.
