I feel bad for what I've seen recently with a certain vet who is struggling.
Lately too, any post about the hurt children is really starting to make me feel sick. It always made me feel sick, but it's getting stuck in my head. Before it would make me upset but i could cope somehow and move on. Now what i read/see just stays on a loop in my brain where i feel like i'm going crazy.
I have to call on Jesus to clear my head. We weren't meant to deal with this level of evil and cruelty. i know that's selfish to say when there are real kids enduring it, but I'm just saying how it is. Nothing like this ever factored into my life nor my consciousness, i think after a while it can break you, and i haven't had the easiest life always, but i'm having trouble dealing with that reality too.

Praying for you Carolyn.
I too have had a heavy heart lately. I have limited my computer time and gone outside (thank God for my backyard) and planted things. I try to focus on my task however, if I drift, I try to drift in the direction of "recovery". What will the world look like after the collapse and during the recovery? Now is the perfect time to learn something new...sewing 101; how to can; homeopathic remedies; read; meditate, etc. Try it for a week. You'll be amazed at what you can learn.
Part of this war is information overload. Limit what information enters your brain.
Godspeed!
