This week, everything around us insists that we should be joyful.
The music.
The festive lights.
The ads.
The LinkedIn posts filled with perfect families, perfect tables, perfect lives.
But that story leaves a lot of people out.

@cs-ws.bsky.social If you are one of the people who cheerfully ask "Are you ready for Christmas?", don't be surprised if someone responds, "I am ready for it to be over." More importantly, don't ignore the response because it's not what you want to hear. Show #empathy.

The most precious things in life aren’t things at all …. they’re the parts of us worth protecting every single day.

Dear listeners,
When the days feel narrow and the noise gets loud, try a song.
Not as escape — as evidence.
Someone, somewhere, once felt this too and made something that still holds.

In a world that asks us to move faster, I create art inviting us to slow down. My work is rooted in nature, hope & healing, meant to bring calm, connection & quiet joy into your home. If you believe beauty matters, if nature feels like home, if you’re craving a little more peace in your life…

Good morning, friends. Shine authentically, embracing imperfections! Be honest. Be real. Be messy. Be unapologetically YOU! And don’t worry about anyone who doesn’t accept you for being you. #Jaye’sMorningLight

During this time of the year, everyone needs a little help dealing with their emotions, & learning new self-care skills. I have participated in free live events on Insight Timer's app. It is a community of wounded souls helping each other survive & thrive. #SelfCare #Meditation #Journaling
I am in-between therapists, because of insurance changes, but I found several free teachers on Insight Timer's app. There is a variety of subjects - #journaling, #meditation, #yoga - and teaching styles.
Do you have a favorite #self-care app?

WOW! Great way to wake up on a cold Monday morning.
Thanks @ronnieg63.bsky.social
This was filmed at #BluesAlleyJapan. I found several videos of other performances, but this is my favorite by far.

Totally agree. Being outside is the best therapy. I go out when everyone else is at work, school, etc. #introvert

Grilled Cheese is my ultimate comfort food and the Corelle plate from my childhood, that I also have, makes it even better.
I rarely make grilled cheese sandwiches, but it's a cold day and I just got home from a short day at work and it seemed appropriate. I need to make them more often. Yummmm!
