Tomorrow or the next life, you'll never know what comes first
-- Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Happy Pesach. Happy Easter. Happy Saturday!

In my fifth week of #stayhome, I feel the stormy waters from all the adjustments, the high waves of work, and distractions are calmer now. It took a while for me to get to equilibrium. My resting heart rate is now 20 bpm lower than at the beginning. The calm never lasts very long. I'll cherish the moment and brace for the next storm.

The next release of the Gutenberg plugin will take place next week, some PRs needed a few more days to complete. Gutenberg 7.9 RC will be released Monday, followed by the release on Wednesday April 15, 2020. Get a sneak preview via 7.9 Milestone on Github.

How are you today? I want to know, please write a few notes
Yours, 💕
