Check in here for a moment of calm.

Please, everyone. Let’s take a breath. Just breathe deep and relax for sixty seconds. Just one full minute.

We’re all stressed and upset. No wonder!!!! Sickness, hatred, racism, stupidity, weather events - hell, we’ve got it all right now. And if you’re like me, it’s been a constant state of “red alert” for the last three months.

We do no one any good if we aren’t alive and healthy to vote in November.

So please, please, a moment of collective virtual hug. We all need it.

Just breathe. Drop those shoulders. Relax that back. Let it go just for a tiny increment of time.

3. If you can, take a short nap

It is the pause that refreshes.

4. Indeed!

Thank you!

Just my daughter and I here on the farm. We've decided to take 'shifts' in our news consumption to stay in 'the know' and to also give each other breaks from it. It's too much (I feel) to be immersed in to much stressful news.
