Post Trump Stress Disorder the new PTSD

I would tweet this, ironically, but I left all social media as a resolution for the new year. Only my blog left to share my voice with the world, these important and very deep thoughts...

I am lucky enough to have a handful of friends and family in their 60's and 70's who have progressive liberal ways of thinking, so I tend to become a liberal granny by osmosis... TWICE in the past week my mom, and then my friend Vicky, told me they are still recovering for what Trump did. I feel like they are discussing a personal attack, but they are referring to the reign of his presidency and the aftermath the world is dealing with. I will call this PTSD, referring to the T word, Trump. I was listening to each of these ladies on a phone call and I realized the venom that was being espoused was not for a property vandal or a current politician, but the legacy of Trump which lives on. Perhaps they need to "live in the now" or maybe I don't read enough news to be angry, but I'm concerned for the health of well-informed older people. I would like to find a solution to help my people overcome the trauma of the Trump era.

As Obama had to answer for the Bush legacy, Biden is dealing with disasters started by Trump, such as the plan for an abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan. Who stands to benefit from this disaster? 

Wellness at Yoga House

 I love the recent music video for Solar Power where Lorde takes a satirical jab at wellness gurus, it's a groovy song and I love this mellow album. That said, I am a bit embarrassed that I regularly read Goop and have been participating in yoga for exercise, nearly religiously lately. I figure this blog post is to inform my readers and passers-by that Yoga House in Dubai is open for business and it's a fantastic experience. I was hesitant, but since myself and most people in Dubai now are vaccinated and boosted, we can probably exercise safely again. Masks are required everywhere, but you can take them off once safely distanced on the mats.

Let me tell you about this good intro deal, at the time of writing, for 550 AED you can get a 10 class package good at any of the three locations, or you can participate online. I prefer the Hilton Al Habtoor location, it has a luxurious ambiance. Full access to the hot tub, sauna, and jacuzzi. Let's get back to ommmmmmmm!
