Click. Read. Love. 3.11.22

Anyone else have absolutely no idea that Daylight savings is this Sunday?! A reminder popped up on my calendar to my complete surprise. Don’t get me wrong I’m all for the extra hour of sunlight but we’re also anticipating a blizzard here tomorrow so I guess I’m just not feeling super spring-y. Trust me I am trying. Everything just feels pretty heavy and sad at the moment so I’ve been finding little pockets of joy wherever I can. Hope you are able to do the same.

If you’re looking for something to buy, try, read, share or pin, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the best of the week…

Anyone else feel like alcohol isn’t treating them as well as it used to? Here are three reasons why age and alcohol don’t mix.

I feel heavy too. Lots of my own stuff going on but Ukraine horrific . I looked at your article about alcohol and age . I don’t profess to be any kind of expert on it but I’ve had my share of involvements with it crossing my path in relationships. I didn’t have family history and I was a typical going out with my friends social drinker . That lasted until well in my forties . When my son suddenly had liver issues and two years later died of it sadly with no warning signs, I stopped having cocktails except on Holidays. I understood that anyone abs any amount of drinks can really damage their bodies . Rich or poor , great jobs , great families or not it was a danger the Social Worker told me how hard this addiction was to stop and for families to watch. So today maybe I overthink it when I hear my young friends talk about hangovers . But I worry about them and my age doesn’t crave the sane lifestyle as before . When I get depressed, I run for a Starbucks . Thanks for the article . It’s important. It’s just as bad as the drug crisis young or old and leaves families devastated. ?
