I'm so sorry that things have been so heavy lately. I know it's difficult to acknowledge it sometimes when you're in the thick of it, so being able to recognize when you need a break and some detachment is not only a valuable skill, it can sometimes be a life saver.
It's good to read you are able to get out to beautiful places and refresh your spirit. Even though you feel 2022 will be another difficult year, I sincerely hope that there are at least parts that add some balance and bring you some joy.
Go well Galen
I'm going to live it as best I can, shape it where possible and deal with the issues when/if they arise. There's not much else for it. I appreciate your message though, as always.
