I'm going to be lazy tonight.

First, though, I would be completely remiss if I didn't applaud the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court for voting unanimously, without presumed party bias, against the ridiculous Muslim travel ban.  And he can tweet "See you in court" all he wants.  It's called the checks and balances of our government wisely set up by our founders.  Go ahead, "45," embarrass yourself some more.  You'll find not everyone in Government is a sycophant or afraid.

Now to the lazy part, as I already copied this on Facebook earlier today.  I read a very well-written post speaking directly to my dilemma the other day about pulling back from the mayhem to get back to myself a bit.

"This morning I have been pondering a nearly forgotten lesson I learned in high school music. Sometimes in band or choir, music requires players or singers to hold a note longer than they actually can hold a note. In those cases, we were taught to mindfully stagger when we took a breath so the sound appeared uninterrupted. Everyone got to breathe, and the music stayed strong and vibrant. Yesterday, I read an article that suggested the administration's litany of bad executive orders (more expected on LGBTQ next week) is a way of giving us "protest fatigue" - we will literally lose our will to continue the fight in the face of the onslaught of negative action. Let's remember MUSIC. Take a breath. The rest of the chorus will sing. The rest of the band will play. Rejoin so others can breathe. Together, we can sustain a very long, beautiful song for a very, very long time. You don’t have to do it all, but you must add your voice to the song. With special love to all the musicians and music teachers in my life…..#Resist"

I feel a little less guilty now for those moments when I just don't have it.  The rest of you are still carrying on, as I will when you need a break.  Peace and love.
