Thanks for reading!
I have never
felt more weary and battle-scarred. I’m dealing with multiple long-term
challenges. Some of them are absolutely devastating. I must take each day one
step at a time.
I know I’m
not alone.
Many of us
are soooo tired. We want to stop the merry-go-round of life and curl up in a
comfortable ball on our bed. “Please, stop the world for just a minute!” is our motto.
Time doesn’t
stop for anyone. We have to find a different solution for weariness. This
writing is a collection of practical ideas from three different articles.
