Mistakes make us more valuable as individuals. (I can't credit bc I don't know where this came from, but my thanks to you for this opportunity to pause and think.🙏)
A photo of a white masonry wall with a crack that looks like the stem of a bare plant with bare branches reaching out on both sides; it is rising from the gray gravel on the ground. Next to it, paralleling the crack's image is a very tall weed, likely a dandelion.

Every so often, I read this to remind myself to ask the question. And I am sharing said reminder of that self-nurturing question with you.
Soft green rectangle with text: "Get into the habit of asking yourself, 'Does this support the life I'm trying to create'?"

The cover of the "best-seller" edition of "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, from 1985. It shows a black rectangle on which is the figure of a woman in a long red dress with the now-iconic white, face-hiding headdress.

Perhaps someone else can use this little reminder as much as I do right now, as I attempt -- so far in vain -- to change pharmacy locations. Aaarrgh!!!!

A little gem from my feed -- methinks this might be the mantra for the next little (long?) while...

I can't post the credit -- got it from my friend Pete. To whoever created this meme ... kudos!
Color photo of Trump (likely on the campaign trail in 2016--he has a lot more hair) at a lectern, speaking, with his arms outstretched. Text: "If my lips are moving, I'm either lying, covering up a lie with another lie or yelling at reporters for catching me in a lie while thinking about my next lie."

All right, children, here is today's lesson in refined snarkism:

Painting of a woman seated at an angle in a carved wooden chair holding up a fan in her right hand. Her left arm and hand rest on the back of the chair. She has a very knowing expression in her eyes, matched by a small smile. Text: "I just learned the professional way to say 'I told you so': 'This was identified early on as a likely outcome.' "

Ran across this in my feed this morning. Good reminder that "adulting" isn't really optional. (I know, I know.)

Every time we rant and roar at the orange blob and his thugs, we send him the message that he is winning. He's getting exactly what he wants. What if we tone down that raging rhetoric and and mock him, laugh at him, ridicule him instead? The 💩 feeds off our pain and anger. Let's close the pipeline.
