3. Yes, Sprink, the pandemic has taken a toll on so many of us.

I struggle quite a bit as well, with lower energy and the knowledge that personal aging came at the same time as the pandemic.

We're old enough to know that there's a lot we can't control, and we have to let go of some of it.
Our worry, our concern won't change Israel/Palestine and internal corruption in some places here.

Important to get our rest (say I near 3 a.m., but I sleep in these days.)
Put worries up on a shelf at night - they'll still be there tomorrow if we want to take them on.

Thank the Lord each night for the small accomplishments of the day, eating healthily, taking a shower (yeah), being civil to those you meet.

We're always here.

Sleep well.
