The world is in a bad way, and most of us are feeling psychically burdened. I know I am, and I suspect many of you are, too.
Tempers and emotions are so high that I’m feeling uncharacteristically reticent about saying (writing) much. Some longer essays I’ve been writing in my head are still there, but they won’t come right now. They’ll come in time. I regret not being able to give you something more meaty in writing right now.
Just getting ready to do the Sunday night show has been more difficult than I can remember (don’t worry, it’s being made) for a while.
As someone prone to neurotic rumination, I see the negative before I see the positive. This means I have to actively remind myself to acknowledge the good, not just the bad.
You are the good, readers. Kevin and I are lucky enough to have a show, and this accompanying writing space, that enough people like that they subscribe. Some of you even pay!
Thank you for being one of the good things. Thank you for being interested in what we have to say. Thank you especially for helping pay for it.
Feel free to use the comments to talk about anything you like. Got something uplifting or even just diverting and amusing? Share it with everyone.
I’ve started a new hobby when I need a break from my intensely focused painting or the world in general which is completely off the rails. Something that helps me take myself less seriously but which gives me pleasure. So Im felting little animal/ critters. Josh, doesn’t your sister felt wonderful things? I find the stab stab stabbing therapeutic . LOL.
Thanks to you and Kevin for being here, all this time, helping people learn and keep some sanity. I cannot believe the changes and challenges we've seen come to pass as a community.
Stay strong, y'all. Love to all. ❤️
