I don't know who needs to hear this but ...
Rest is NOT a reward.
Rest is a NECESSITY for survival.
Rest is a REQUIREMENT for living.
The brainwashing, grooming, and other gross capitalist tactics that have turned everyone into robots grinding to early deaths want you think that you have to EARN the right to rest and EARN the chance for leisure only after you've proven your worth.
They. Are. Wrong.
You have to STAY HEALTHY and be there for YOURSELF and those that need and love you.
Rest.
As we all move through these difficult hard days, remember #Selfcare. 🧡💛🩵
We only can control ourselves.

Acceptance is the answer
It is not that I hurt
It is, “What can I accomplish while I hurt?”
I refuse, as best I can, the expenditure of any emotional energy on expecting it or even wishing it to be different
All my energy is spent on accomplishing what is possible, in spite of it being exactly as it is
Most never realize the power of refusing to have expectations
Or to not entertain worry about a future that has not arrived yet
It is this exact moment where Life occurs
Well, Kamala can make the argument for Roe as a woman in a way no male candidate can make. And since women have suffered increased pregnancy related mortality since Roe fell, I think it’s still a big campaign issue.

I indulged in a little retail therapy today. Last week I picked up some mini LED string lights on nice, simulated vines. The package has 3qty, 7' long, AA battery strands. Each strand has its own battery/switch compartment. The challenge then became how to neatly store those together for easy access. Voila! A stylish, vintage brass wall-mounted planter. 😍
