 @5435aaa1 I'm sorry to hear you're feeling that way. It's natural, for so many of us, but it doesn't ever become any less difficult.

I hope you do manage to get some rest, take some time for yourself. It's so difficult to find that space and not automatically fill it with stuff. Or, and this is the thing I do, clear some space and then end up paralysed and stressed because I can't choose which of the hundreds of things I want to do I'm going to do...

If you do disappear, please come back. 
 @4117a1bc I do the same thing where I can’t relax when I do have the time. Perpetual anxiety. 

I don’t think I’m going anywhere. But if I do, I promise to return. 🖤 
 In the words of Clannad, no matter where you go, we will find you, @Michelle.

There is but one answer to this.  I think we need some sort of poets' relaxation and recuperation club, Michelle & @a96c3806 
 @7f80d53a @4117a1bc 

I love the sound of that! 🖤🖤🖤 
 As do I...  Question is, how could this be possible in a virtual world, @Michelle & @a96c3806 
 @7f80d53a @4117a1bc maybe having the accountability of someone saying “breathe and rest”

Most times I don’t think to do so unless I’m reminded. That’s just a start. 
 Then I will seek to remind you often, @Michelle.

Any thoughts, @a96c3806?  Do you need a gruff and bad tempered old Welshman barking "Take a rest" at you??? 😡🥱😆 
 @7f80d53a @4117a1bc gruff and bad tempered where? 👀 

Also will the stick be involved? 
 @a96c3806 The stick is always waiting, @Michelle. 
 @7f80d53a 
I am always ready! 
 @7f80d53a @5435aaa1 The Breathe and Rest Club sounds excellent.

I am unsure about the stick... 
 @4117a1bc @7f80d53a 

*Sharpens stick* what, this??? Nah it’s nothing to worry about 
 @5435aaa1 @7f80d53a But why is it sharp? 
 @4117a1bc @7f80d53a *Hides it behind my back* why is what sharp? *Cough* 
 @5435aaa1 @7f80d53a Hmmmmm...

Okay, perhaps I imagined it! 
 @4117a1bc @7f80d53a hehehehe 🤭
