Dear Jack
Dear Jack, Your drink was once a balm to my soul. It numbed my pain and made me whole. Still, I've always known my love for you was misplaced. For I was drowning in your amber waves.

Tune Out the Chatter and Find Your Happy Place
Between social media and breaking news, we receive so much information that the constant bombardment drains our energy. Add social distancing to the mix and the fact that many of us aren't working at the moment, and it's easy to see why we lack our usual enthusiasm.
