thank you Donna!!! great advice... i limit my news consumption enormously... i generally only read and then only enough to have a decent idea of what is going on... i do yoga and pilates four or five times a week... i read things that inspire me... i have a daily gratitude practice which helps me and others as i have been repeatedly told by the others who read my gratitudes... i get together with good friends like you and your wife... i enjoy the company of my wife and my dogs... and there is more...

So much wisdom here, and something I needed to read. The tiny little hands of spring flowers popping up through the dirt like the undead are helping rewire my brain.

Thank you for writing this! Taking care of ourselves is important. As for suggestions for reading, my friend Andrew Ramer has a bunch of books and I'll give you the name of two that I think you'd enjoy. Queering the Text: Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories, and "Deathless: The Complete, Uncensored, Heartbreaking, and Amazing Autobiography of Serach bat Asher, the Oldest Woman in the World." Both progressive and a somewhat fantasy, but it would be nice if reality.
