I want to engage, but I lack the space in my life to fully do so… every day is a battle between peeking through the window of social media and news, and actually opening the door and getting swallowed up in it all. How to find the right and healthy balance?

Thanks for the laugh

Michigan is my forever home!

So very true… there is no set, or even approximate, time to each though - any season could last from 4 hours to 4 months!

Such a great idea… I hope you don’t mind that I am stealing it?!

Glad to hear they got your name change… sucks about the gender marker, sorry to hear that.

Sadly I got a good chuckle out of this…

Hey #writingcommunity - how do you go about blocking real-world “stuff” from creeping into your writing (when it is not relevant)? Looking for ideas to maintain my focus while the real-world is blaring its megaphone…

Thankful for these judges… but I fear for their safety in this current political climate

Yep… all to often

Yep… keep writing, the world needs to hear you.

Ha… I like it

Yep… besides, my written world is much more fun than the real world right now!

I desperately hope for a hero to swoop in… but you are right, we can’t wait until then. Everyone needs to stand up and do something, and then repeat that something every day! We are in a bad place America/World, don’t bury your head in the sand, my grandkids are depending on us!

A very good reminder… I am struggling with this currently!

Agreed… don’t make assumptions based on a few words.

Due to bird flu… just a dream!

Love the cat… right here with you, it’s been a long week

I am a winter reader more than writer… the short days here in the north weigh on me

So true…

Winter is the hardest time to sit and write for me… so looking forward to spring

Every day, I wake up and start pulling on the oars of life… must keep this world going round!

Thank you for recognizing that we will lose some along the way… my fear is for how many and at what cost to both my own circle and our greater community.

This me sick… this fixation on a relatively small part of our population that is not hurting anyone makes no sense.

Go for it…

Ah… we all need to do this

I like “Atta girl!”

Congrats…
