Baby steps to mortgage freedom for beanielou.

I have made the decision to take a wee bit of a step back from the FB in the New Year.
Not a big step but a bit.
In March when we all stepped up to the plate none of obviously had any idea that everything would still be much the same all these months later with as yet no end in sight. I personally cannot continuw with that level of commitment for who knows how long. I make no apology. If I am honest it has taken a toll on both my mental & physical health.

If it's right for you, then that's that, beanie - and it even *sounds* right for you. You struggle with meeting your own needs, it's not surprising at all that you need a break from the intensity of the fb for a bit. I know you want to help, but it won't help your fb users if you grind yourself into the ground. Sending many, many positive vibes, to you and yours.2023: the year I get to buy a car7

Good decision for you I agree. It’s been very full on, you can’t carry it on indefinitely. I know that decision won’t have been taken lightly xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

I'm glad that some of the responsibility will be taken by someone else Lou. The old saying about flogging a willing horse to death is, unfortunately, true, and you deserve better. (((hugs))) XXI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy6 -

It sounds like the right decision for you Beanie and time that someone else took over some of the responsiblity. You've served them well and will continue to do what you can I know, but if it's affecting your well being then it's definitely time to take a step back.
