Just in Time.
The holiday season is upon us, and not a moment too soon. The last few weeks have been exhausting, and I'm sure we could use a break from the insanity. Here are some thoughts that may help.
Acknowledge: It is what it is.
Yes, the Trumpster fire still burns, and everything smells like smoke.
Yes, the Circus is still in town. If it weren’t so frightening, it would be funny.
Bob Eckstein gives us a perfect preview of what’s happening under the big top.
Balance: Do what you need to do.
Choose sanity.
David Sipress captures the balancing act perfectly.
It’s ok to take a break if you need to.
The inimitable Roz Chast shows how many are feeling. Fortunately, this week offers an opportunity to escape the madness for a bit.
In summary:
Yes, it’s a shitshow out there, but in the meantime:
Do whatever you need to do to take care of yourself.
Be thankful for what you have.
If you are traveling, stay safe.
If you need to set boundaries with family, do so.
Gorge yourself on food, not news. The shitshow will still be here when you come back.
A note from the Supervisor
Please remember to drop something on the floor for your furry friends. That is all.

I hope next week will allow you to retreat from the world's chaos and refresh yourself. See you next Sunday.
