I grew up in Florida, and have slowly moved further north ever since college. At every stop along the way, I've been basically told by everyone, "Dude, you're going the wrong direction."

My old county is now largely unrecognizable from the steady growth.

Florida doesn't appeal to me (heat mostly), but I'm clearly the weirdo. Most people, when given chance, prefer what Fl offers to what NY, or Michigan does. Which mostly, when all is said and done, boils down to climate.

My mom is on my mind a lot these days. Here's my column written shortly after she died. Seems like eons later and I miss her every moment. https://t.co/u37p4TvSEt

It was an awful day in 2019, when Tim Mayza blew out his elbow & tore his forearm. Spring training 2021 seemed far away. But missing 2020 might’ve been a blessing in disguise — despite at-home rehab, returning to a high school field & a Covid-19 diagnosis. https://t.co/1L9wCdwdtI

Thank you. I am at home and working through the issues. As I stated, have deleted some tweets from a month ago that are not accurate, altho felt so, will be so grateful for rest and respite. Again , thank you.

Please read to the end if you can. @thekeenanwire sets on the record a chain of actions that should be recorded and understood as it happens. No matter what side you favour now, it could be your vote discarded next time. Assuming a vote, and a next time https://t.co/UIQTvbP5im

I also have other reasons to be fearful. As does everyone else-safety, health, love, relationships, economic security, winter descending a little faster than we can acquire pandemic patio warmers for the soul.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

I have #paranoia in the age of #Trump2020 What could be more timely less than a week before the U.S election.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

Will living thru #apocalyptic2020 change politics? It's more resonant than #Trump can grasp.Whether Covid winter wave isolation blues, or other mental health challenges, pls remember you are more than your trauma.Fiercely insist on survival On thriving On being gloriously alive.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

As we try to destigmatize mental health challenges —we still call certain levels of fear unfounded or paranoid. Believe women who say they are feeling fear. It may not be danger apparent to all but it’s visceral to her.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

Idea during escalating fear--personal or political--is to acknowledge your feelings, control your thoughts. Calm your central nervous system right down. Tell your fear, I hear you, fear, but you are not running the show.

Keep looking for all the answers. And for me if you can't get in touch.

This is a security issue.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

Financial, physical and psychological. But my resilience has resilience. If I disappear it isn't voluntary.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

@jkbjournalist It’s moot.

[Judith Timson @judithtimson]

I’d pay them double that to not sing and just tell me the news straight every night, because I know I’d be getting the real fact based info. They are the experts I need right now. ❤️
