I am burned out. I have been for a long time. Likewise, I imagine many of us are burned out on life. Here is a great graphic The Soup Diva shared on Facebook. This illustrates burnout in a very comprehensive way.
Something About Burnout

Something About The Impact Of Opinions
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But when those opinions come from a place of harm or hate, then it goes into something more dangerous.
I see racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia and antisemitism as being very harmful. Those systems of hate are dangerous to people who are our friends and neighbors. I do not abide any of that. We cannot let the opinions of people who come from a dark place to create chaos. If you are keeping up, people who are speaking out are finding themselves in danger.
It’s time to show love to one another and to have the opinions that welcome, include and promote understanding. It’s the only way we will survive. Love your neighbor and yourself while you are at it.
Something About Stephen and Jimmy
Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are heroes. Calling out the madness that is America is needed now more than ever. We need their voices to tell the stories of this country at this time.
Colbert’s show was cancelled last month. Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off-air due to comments about Charlie Kirk on last night’s show.
This has gone far enough, but I am not sure what to do. Freedom is on the line here, folks.
Something About Disappointment
Disappointment is a part of life. Getting your hopes up can be problematic. When something you hoped for doesn’t come true, it hurts. The saving grace here is that time helps you get over things and offers needed perspective. Time can help you move on to other things to come and hopefully better.
Something About Burnout
I found this nugget of wisdom on Facebook. I agree with it very much. Burnout is definitely related to being valued on the job and in other things you do. The way to keep people engaged and active, especially if they are a hardworking individual, is to offer some praise and appreciation. The same principles work for being on the job. As a people-pleaser, I have experienced this first hand. An attaboy or attagirl can be a good thing to do.
Something About Nostalgia
This weekend has been one of nostalgia and remembering the cool stuff from my youth. I was born in 1969, my childhood was in the 1970s and I came of age in the 1980s. As a teenager (1982-1988) MTV was an influence on me as well as other media and culture of the era. Watching music videos this weekend has been great. Enjoying junk food of the era was fun.
It’s always interesting to look at older things with older eyes and current sensibilities. Looking back to what was helps us all appreciate where we have been and hopefully where we are going next. This blog is a good thing about the present.
I can say that there is a comfort in remembering the past to deal with a difficult today. Everyone should do that. Granted, not everyone has warm fuzzies about the past. Whatever one can do to help cope with what we are going through now is something I suggest. Nostalgia has its place, but like a mountaintop we cannot live in that space for very long, unfortunately.
