In the last week or so, I came across people saying they couldn't really celebrate Biden taking office because of what happened on the 6th and the pandemic still being terrible and all that. I already have a tendency to move from one thing to another without really taking the time to reflect on and absorb my feelings about what's happened (e.g. ( Read more... )

I mentioned several books in my things I enjoyed in 2020 post. I'm still reading, of course, and have finished (or nearly so) two I wanted to mention.

Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents, Lindsay Gibson
This is a follow-up book to Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, which Bro's friend recommended, he read, then passed the book to ( Read more... )

So yesterday was . . . really something. o_O

I wish I could say I was surprised, but this has been coming for a while. I wish I could say I watched in disbelief, but I've long been a believer in "When people show you who they are, believe them."

So, for my yearly revisit of last year's intentions...

1. Continue doing yoga and/or other intentional activity daily. Yes! ( Read more... )

2020 has been a hell of a year, for all the reasons shared worldwide (i.e. pandemic), those more particular to the U.S. (election year), plus those more specific to me (Febobe's death, a cancer scare/need for surgery during said pandemic, the schism between my brother and my mom). Even so, there have been things I've very much enjoyed this year and ( Read more... )

I've been quiet but around. With everything online, I see a lot of computer screens, so I'm taking the moments I can to be away from the laptop. Reading, mostly. ;-)

I'm doing well, and relishing this opportunity imposed by COVID-19 to have a more peaceful holiday season than is usually possible. (I wish more people were doing the same, honestly.) ( Read more... )

I just emailed the FrodoHealers list and thought I'd cross-post the message here as well for maximum visibility.

I write to you one last time before the end of yahoogroups about four things:

1. In case you missed it, FrodoHealers (and all Yahoo Groups) will be going away tomorrow ("We’re shutting down the Yahoo Groups website on December 15, 2020 ( Read more... )
