- This is a couple of days old, but the House tried to cover its ass by removing exemptions for congressmen in the health care bill. The bar is not so low that I will send praise their way for doing so little.
Today I wanted to encourage you to stop; to step away from the fray, to let someone else do the world-saving so that you can attend to yourself. Notice how tired you are. See the ways you’ve neglected relationships and sacrificed presence with people around you. Feel the depth of your grief and fatigue. Give your self permission to do nothing loud or important or heroic today. Be intentionally selfish for a few hours. (This doesn’t have to include chocolate, though it probably should.)
-John Pavlovitz
