@ana It is hard not to peek! I find myself doing that all the time. I am on social media often posting things I find in nature, photos I take, following other artists I like, so I have not yet chosen to take a hiatus from it all. This week has definitely been a heavy, heavy week. And you are dealing with (and have been) so much more. I am glad to hear that your son is starting to feel better and that you both tested negative for COVID. Hoping you get some more time and space to rest and regroup.
I loved the part of the article that I put into the post above -- I find myself feeling guilty that I am not out there doing more re: any number of issues. But I have plenty on our own little family plate and so that has to be enough until a time when I feel like I can contribute or do more elsewhere.
Every time I see Clarissa Ward reporting from Afghanistan for CNN, I am amazed at her composer and brilliance. She is already a peabody award winning journalist for her reporting of the Syrian Uprising. She is so brave and such an inspiration. She must be driving the Taliban insane. Sending her a lot of love, may she be protected and be able to keep reporting on this and all the other world news events n the future.

@lynnventura Jimmy Carter will always be my favorite President. We share birthdays and home state and he is the epitome of intelligence,wit,kindness and true love for his fellow humans. To me? He is the definition of humanitarian, as well as caring for our planet and close to his roots as a farmer...he truly knew the land. https://learnodo-newtonic.com/jimmy-carter-accomplishments
@dannyboy there is an enormous negative pile-on surge with the most current of events.
I take low dose edibles for my anxiety and depression (legal in my state) - yesterday was an edible day. I woke up today feeling much, much better but I can still feel it out there. Definitely looking for some good news today!
@dannyboy That works. I have 10lbs of fudge coming from Murdicks on Mackinac Island. ?

That's how I USED to medicate ???.
@dannyboy Send me some Dannyboy - the death of my Aunt, another friend that died of cancer a month ago, her daughter committed suicide two nights ago ? and all the media screaming about Afghanistan and being surrounded by Covidiots and the hospitals here full to overflowing.. and then? I read this: https://apnews.com/article/elections-georgia-46c13960e11733e23b195e5aeca75d10?fbclid=IwAR209IUGSD6rot25p_Y8-PvAGiJo2O5wwZU4a1HJa5gRX5ERpOLWhnhMLdY
I think it may be a tequila night...seeing as how that relief you speak of is not legal here. ? ? I am definitely feeling helpless and hopeless and overwhelmed right now.
You know how you have the really heavy uneasy feeling that the caca is fixing to hit the fan? yeah... the Energy feels super foreboding to me right now.... something is coming to head so to speak before all hell breaks loose around here.
@journeywithme2 I'm so with you. He's a national treasure. I remember his inauguration. Our teacher let us watch it on a tiny black and white TV. He was ahead of his time. He is a lightworker.
@journeywithme2 You've endured a particularly painful time. I am so sorry. Love and blessings to you.
