Giving Up On Giving Up: Check-in Post #1

[nanila]

Hello Fine Crew Members,
How are you doing on your Giving Up On Giving Up?

The only thing I'm managing to do every day is force myself to read the news. Possibly this doesn't sound like much, but I desperately want to bury my head in the sand on so many issues, including Trump, Eastern Ghouta, Brexit, the list goes on. So for me, opening up the Guardian Roundup and the Economist Espresso every day, gritting my teeth and reading them, is a triumph over inertia.

Here's hoping you've had some successes, however small, as well!

Nanila - well done for staying informed when there's so much depressing news. There are days when I just want to stick my head back under the blankets, too.

Thank you. Yes, it's hard work keeping up. It seems so much positive, hard-won progress in the world is taking a terrible battering at the moment.
