A big ol' hug to everyone who's going to be holding their breath a lot in the next few days.
I mean, more than usual, for this last nightmare of a few weeks.
We're going to be caught fast for the next few days in a news cycle of events we cannot control - but our bodies aren't going to know that. It's not going to be easy to manage the stress on 24/7 media-driven tenterhooks.
Take breaks.
Be with people.
Have grace with others, & forgive what they say while coping.
Be kind to yourselves, too.
🫂❤️ Here's a big ol' hug from me directly to you, for taking care of *you* right now. That's what matters most - even if the isolation really, really sucks. May everything go smoothly and may recovery be swift.
@MLClark ❤️Thanks ❤️ I have had some moments of sheer terror in the past month but stage 1 and clear lymph nodes was a beautiful thing to hear!
If you have to be in your situation, that sounds like a good starting point for complete healing.
✨Light on the path ahead.✨
@Tattoomonkey29 @MLClark Don’t let unvaxxed people visit.
@Sandywb14 @MLClark I don't and won't, not even for a "holiday "event and have been wearing a mask for years now! I'm actually shocked that even in doctors offices etc I'm seeing very few people acting like Covid is still a thing!
@Tattoomonkey29 @MLClark Best wishes for a swift recovery. Am so sorry your family has antivaxxers.
@MLClark Again, thank you for the wisdom -just in time for when it is needed. Breathing deeply as I read this. 💜
🫂 Breathing is such a good thing to do.
Staying steady is how we stay able to help when we can, where we can.
In this case, it's out of our hands.
But maybe the next big ask won't be - and that's when we need to be ready to act.
Thank you for your presence, always. 💛
@MLClark A friend messaged me to today, and they said, “ Can I be mad? Because I know it’s wrong to be angry.”
I replied to her that anger wasn’t a bad thing, it was just a thing, but her choices would define it, not the thing itself.
It’s ok to take breaks, it’s ok to guard your own heart, it’s ok to say, this is hurting me, I need to stop.
That’s showing love not just to yourself, but others too.
💛 Thank you for being present for your friend in need. Sometimes folks need permission to step back, and to acknowledge their feelings while separating the act of feeling from any further actions that might stem from it.
May you always feel as supported in turn, you lovely critter you. 🤗
@MLClark I am very lucky to have bright lights like you in my life that are always there with love and support.
Thank you groovy soul!
@MLClark Thanks for this.
@MLClark ❤️ Worst time ever to be going in for surgery for sure. I can't even go see my favorite people because the unvaxxed "kids" are coming and last time they left Covid in their wake!
