A few days back, I hit my tipping point. I stood still and waiting until a gentle voice inside my head whispered to me to go downtown… so I got in my car and did just that. I went downtown, across the river, where there wasn’t a soul around, except for a groundhog I spotted that quickly ran away in the grass. I got to take a socially distanced walk, with my mask on, just in case. I’m feeling peaceful now. And also grateful to live in Nashville.
