After one of the deepest dark moons I have dived into in a while - and I say this as a card carrying lunatic who makes it her monthly practice to do so - the lift into the new cycle is palpable. And so very welcome. Oh hey Taurus season, your earthy tenets have become my everyday life.

For this week's Friday check in, I have a question beyond the new standard ohmygodhowareyoudoing. Because now that we have resigned ourselves to reality, settled into something resembling a stay home routine and made our PJs the most devoured fashion food group, a curious wonder is emerging.

We are discovering muscles we didn't know we had. Coping skills that are holding us through. New loves and old crushes. Hidden talents that have waited our whole lives for a crack to rush through. An adaptability and grit and resilience that is proving our humanity.

Random acts of kindness are becoming commonplace. Genuine gratitude - not the rustle it up for a daily list kind - is bathing the good people of the world in long overdue appreciation. We are all swelling. Seeing each other and indeed our sweet selves in a whole new light.

Perhaps you have qualified for the Puzzle Olympics or the sausage making world championships? Maybe you cried for the whole month and are still here. Or as it turns out you can lift and build, bake and bask in new skills.

So riddle me this darklings, because I am pretty sure it is Friday. What wondrous thing have you unearthed about yourself this past month?

......

Crickets? Nada? Got nothing? Then post an hilarious meme from your new favourite account, because chances are you spent it in bed laugh weeping and haven't we all had a day or three there.
