Books, articles, podcasts, and blogs offer an abundance of advice for coping with our COVID-related issues.  The booming field of self-help writing is something I spent some time researching several years ago, reading more books on the topic than I ever want to again.  Still, I remain intrigued by our tendency to seek out such advice over and over again, always hoping to lead a better life after learning what others advise.  Folksongs often gave us the answer long ago.  Here is one answer—aided a bit by William Butler Yeats:  Take Life Easy (aka Down By the Salley Gardens).
