| Good morning, friends of The Short List! You've made it to another weekend. We hope you have the time for all the things that make you happy. |
| When the going gets tough, how do you respond? Our long reads this weekend focus on ordinary people forced to deal with unusual adversity: A brutal winter storm. The isolation caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Or the challenge of motherhood and caregiving after leaving the workforce. |
| A case in point is Leslie Chiaramonte, a mother of two daughters in Peekskill, New York, who quit her job when the cost of a full-time babysitter exceeded her salary. While she and her husband have struggled financially, she is enjoying extra time with her girls and is pursuing a new career. "You have to work and hustle to get things you want," she said. "Maybe the universe was kind of saying, there's something else out there for you. And I took it, I jumped at it." |
| Stories about "ordinary" people coping with an extraordinary time. |

| Stay strong! There are more long reads below. |
