Could a few of you pick up the slack a bit? Stand in there for me for awhile? :) I need a break from the negativity, too, the ups and downs.

2. There is nothing wrong with taking some time off...
I have to do it periodically myself. If you were take politics seriously all the time and live with the ups and (mostly, lately) downs, then you'd snap after awhile.

Give yourself a specific amount of time away from the controversies and discussions, like a month, and see if you don't feel better.

3. Your health has to come first
The stresses and strains of activism can take a toll. Don't feel guilty - just take care of yourself. :hug:

6. Thanks, people. I think I could use a break from some of the bad news.
Peak Oil, Water Wars, Global Warming, Iraq, Iran...it's just too much. I just want to rest for awhile.

Good on you guys who are keeping up the fight. Massive amounts of pressure need to be applied and I know you folks are the ones to do it. :) Take care of yourselves, too, if necessary.

Much Love,

Ladyhawk
