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 . 🧡💛🩵
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

So, does anybody else want to tell me what I do or do not know?

Anyone?

I think everybody needs to just adopt a calm attitude here. Doesn't matter who the Democratic candidate for president is.

What matters is that you VOTE.

Just that.

It really is that simple.

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.

About 15 years ago a person on Reddit posted, "My friend just died. I don't know what to do."

Another user named GSnow posted this response. I saved it because it's one of the best things I've read about grief.

UAMS will provide birth control, reproductive health education to 14 rural Arkansas counties.

Here it is! Had to crop the image. Should arrive early next week.

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. 😍

Today's adulting began before sunrise. I'm sleep deprived, and the kids and I have been fighting sinus/upper respiratory crap since Friday. This cranky ol' bitch needs a nap, amongst other things. Whatever. Play nice. Or not. But nice is generally better. KTHXBAI.
