Today's challenge: Be present. Be kind to yourself. It's ok to take a break and be overwhelmed.
Today, Melissa talks through her feelings about the reality of going outside with a mask to go on outings with her dog, Captain. It's ok to take a step back, acknowledge none of this is normal, and that these emotions will come in waves for some of us or feel like a ton of immovable bricks for others.
If you need a thing to do, go back and start on some of the other challenges, or do what Melissa is doing today: give thanks to the animal care professionals who are still treating sick and injured pets who are overwhelmed, too.
