Be kind to yourself.

Eat something forbidden
Watch some goofy comedy
Sleep when you need it
Read a book
Ring a friend
Have a huge whinge

Check in with us tomorrow and let us know how you are.

Yes totally - and all the weird stuff happening - the earth quake, the superspreader riots, bot attacks, the ‘live with the virus’ BS, nuke subs, resignations, ‘save Australia’ nuts, fb mega crash - it’s like we suddenly went from things going well to trump crazy land

My beautiful people of Australia
We are have now surpassed the US in terms of % of the population vaccinated with at least 1 dose. And we haven't lost steam.
We are on our way to be among the most vaccinated places on earth. And to a much better year in 2022!! pic.twitter.com/09nizulMoM

hold on to inner peace...

Perhaps I cannot slow or divert the chaos around me right now, but I can hold on to my inner peace... https://t.co/A981ER828F

sometimes people try to start a war in your head because they can't find peace within themselves. always protect your peace.
