Today’s coping tip is to stop for a minute when you walk outside and just enjoy nature.

It’s getting cold in Colorado, but we had a day recently that was 50F/10C. No wind, and a pleasant day, so when I came back from the gym, I decided to sit outside for a few minutes. The dogs enjoyed me throwing a ball, but I took a few minutes to sit and look at the world. Enjoy the bright, big Colorado sky, smell the fresh air, and appreciate the silence of country living.

Quite a contrast from the last week in busy Cambridge.

I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQL Server Central newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
