17. Hi Koz, so glad you posted.

These are hard times. Managing anxiety and hopeless feelings take a lot of work. I've never been interested in shows just for laughs until post-election. Now Big Bang Theory is medicine for me.

I read DU still, but now before I close it down I go to the DU Lounge for pet videos, like those from The Dodo.

Today I heard that singing, especially with others, can help reset and regulate one's mood. It doesn't have to be tuneful particularly. It makes sense to me! I plan to try that one soon, even if it's just singing in the shower.

Anyway, I always love to hear from you even if I mostly linger and hang back for those who know you best to respond.
