Self care isn’t just drinking water and going to sleep early.
Self care is when things become overwhelming, saying no to things you don’t want to do, allowing yourself to cry, asking for help from those around you, and doing things that make you happy!
—-The Daily Reminders
Let’s rest, rebuild and be ready to restart the hope that has been broken.
I am so glad you could go home and spend time with your family. Missing my VA family right now so this made me smile. Go enjoy some good cooking and spoil your mom. Tell her thank you for raising such an amazing man. She must be wonderful! Love will get us through.
Thanks for this....[deep breath] i must admit the news has been getting me down, i felt almost a responsablitiy to cling onto the twitter to keep myself informed of the madness of the world...but this is well informed video bringing a little light into the world, with perhaps a reminder for less news and more about people around you.....in light of that, got my mother[and her friend] a ticket for Shen Yun[cant stand the dancing myself]but me and brother know how much my mother[and her friend like such stuff].Its worth the price for the smile it gives her.
On this advice i might even venture out for a walk early tomorrow morn, doing my usual route around hadleigh castle and down near the estuary and up&down a few hills[plum tree hill,adder hill[a worrying name],sandpit hill and back, but it did actually remind me of a story of interest and uplight, as it passes the old salvation army site,which in the old Victorian days, was a brick factory and farm ,...
"The colony was established in Hadleigh in 1891 by General Booth. He believed every human being should have food and shelter and published a plan to rescue the destitute from the squalor of London. His vision was that the poor would be given board and lodgings in a City Colony in exchange for a day’s work. They could then move to a Farm Colony where they would be trained to work the land and run their own smallholdings. Then finally they could progress to Overseas Colonies, running smallholdings abroad.
The trial City Colony was set up in Whitechapel in 1889 and two years later Booth put down a deposit on land in Hadleigh for his Farm Colony. Starting with 800 acres of land, later expanding to 3,200 acres, the farm was home to 200 colonists by the end of its first year. Existing farm buildings were renovated and new dormitories, a bathhouse, laundry, reading room, hospital and religious meeting house were built. As well as farming and market gardening, colonists were taught brickmaking, pottery and construction skills. Today the colony operates an employment training centre for people who have special training needs, and accepts referrals from Social Services and the Employment Service. The aim is to create a realistic working environment, with the intention of helping clients gain the skills necessary for work elsewhere. Employment at the training centre – reminiscent of the colony’s origins – includes horticulture, carpentry, catering, office skills and estate management."
Nowsdays colonism is frowned upon but this was a project to uplift the poor and the downtrodden to help them and raise them up....much similar to the current salvation army site today, there is much to take stock off that all isnt all grimness and darkness in this world....although in tomorrows early light, i rather think its gonna be the mist and fog of early morning england rather than the light rain of america, I am still gonna walk the walk..and maybe ..just maybe switch off the news a little more.... Thax eddie for the reminder

Enjoy your time with your family. Wishing you a healthy, balanced new year. Your voice will be greatly needed in 2025.
Thank you for this.
"underage women" = rape
Beautiful and so appreciated. Wishing you health, resilience and love surrounding you in the new year.
Needed this a lot!
How do you pull your people close when your people are so far gone into MAGA that they don't feel like your people anymore?
enjoy your family...you're blessed to have them 🤗🙏🏽
Two questions. Dressed or undressed? With or without remoulade sauce?
