General Discussion

I also have days when I feel I don't have the energy to meet the moment. The protests I've gone to recently have caused me to throw my right shoulder out--nothing new, really--most parts of my body hurt regularly these days, even while I'm lucky enough to have them functioning. I keep doing what I can.

But I'm tired.

I worry there won't be anything left of the constitutional protections for my kids and grandkids. Like you, I have tried so hard but some many days I don't see the point. But as long as I have a little energy left, I can usually talk myself in to doing what needs to be done. Thank goodness for communities like DU that encourage and support our efforts.

Maybe this feeling of so much being left undone is normal as we approach the twilight years. But it seems what should be a willingness to let go of this life at this stage in our years, is instead filled with panicky need to hang on until we can bring sanity back into the leadership running the country. It probably doesn't help to know, but we all feel your pain.

Hope you get to spend quiet, healing time in nature today, maybe staring at a glorious sunset or shoreline.

Peace.
