@sirgalahad , @lioness, Teresa, Volunteer Mentor, Happy Taco Tuesday!

Or whatever it is that anyone celebrates today! For us, at our house, it is NCIS night. First, the original, at 7pm. Then at 9pm, NCIS New Orleans. With a house full of introverts, this is as close as we get to a family reunion.
Autistic burnout.
I haven't checked to see what the definition is. But I feel it. I am climbing out of it. Slowly but surely.

When everything is just too much.
Every.
Little.
Thing.
So much so that you want to do absolutely nothing.

But then when you do absolutely nothing, you become overwhelmed.
Because you feel intensely the sadness of it all.
It feels as if your life is just drifting away.

You need grounding.
You need good self care.
You need friends to love on you and remind you of your worth.
You need good food and music.
You need puppies to cuddle and birds singing.
You need space and time.
You need candles and flowers.
You need poetry and books.

For those who read this, know that you are loved. You are worth it. Take all the time you need.

Preaching to myself here!

Everyone have a restful weekend coming up. Lots of activities going on. Don't overdo it. Yes, I know it is only Tuesday.

But I get ready for the weekend starting on Saturday night!

Take good care, me lovelies. Enjoy today, whatever it brings you. Remember that you are a human being and not a human doing. What is in your heart is what counts.
