Spoiler alert: We are not.
I am decidedly un- ray of sunshine at the moment and it freaking sucks.
Sometimes this happens. I get unmoored or twisty or, well, stuck — and that’s okay. Occasionally the system overloads, smokes a little from overheating, maybe temporarily fritzes out.
TEMPORARILY.
I don’t need to be Mary Poppins over here. That seems fairly unlikely in even the best of times, which these clearly are not. I just need to reset.
Gonna go put my feet in some grass and listen to the birds. 💛

Thank you. I took some time off and did something just for me — it definitely made me smile. 🙂

I gave myself some Me Time making cards as I did a lot of running around last week helping various friends out.
A bit more of that this week, but that’s OK, and my Suduku book has helped me unwind. There is just something therapeutic about numbers, and the fact they can only go in one place that sorts out the jumble in my head. I usually have a few games on the computer before I turn the light out at night, but have been late going to bed so unable to do it.
Hope you enjoyed the coolness of the grass and the soothing birdsong.

No one can be happy all the time. This expectation is unrealistic.

Peace and quiet – away from the strident voices around us, the grasping of power, the spewing of hate – I agree with you. Lately, I’ve felt more strongly that I have in a long time that need – the quiet place to sit, to enjoy the sound of birds, the voicing of my cat’s feelings at that moment, the voyeurism via our trail camera of local creatures prowling in the dark of night – an evening on the patio with a glass – or two – of wine, solitude. Hiding in my books – thank you, Kindle Unlimited.

Well said. I get it. I’m a highly sensitive person and can become overwhelmed by… motions all around… everything. Right now we’re all in over our heads, trying not to get sucked under. Enjoy the grass.

Yeah, a lot of us are getting overwhelmed. There’s a lot going on, but also I think there’s a shock and awe factor designed to stun people into complying when people are taking over a country. So important to take a break, regroup, then get back to work. Sending hugs as you also move through these times.💛
