As I was out kayaking on this gorgeous evening after several days of fog, I passed a friend on the shore who called out, "We wouldn't mind if you took a day off, you know!" I'm taking her at her word. As you all know, the news dumps in the last couple of days have kept me writing until the sun came up. But while I am finally going to bed on those late nights, the fishermen's days are just starting....
Thank you to your friend for her wise words. Do please get more regular rest. Lack of good sleep is one of the first things that causes brain deterioration, and we so dearly need your wisdom and knowledge right now. But not at the expense of your health. While I miss your words when you take the evening off, I am comforted in knowing you are getting some much deserved sleep and will be fresher and wiser for it the next day. Sweet dreams.
Good, Dr Heather, we’ve worried about your late nights. Take more days off, we do so rely on your knowledge and insights. May you have a sound full night’s sleep!
It has come to the point where, whenever someone starts a sentence with "Heather," we all know who they mean. Paraphrasing author Edwin Friedman: Show up, speak the truth and maintain a non-anxious presence. Thanks for sharing that gift, Heather. (And the people said, "Amen!")
Some of us actually stay up waiting for your late night missives... helps to put what are often disconcerting developments into perspective. I've recommended you to at least half a dozen others who from time to time are ready to say "it's no use." And I say "you should read Heather Cox Richardson's thoughts each day." You really are providing a much needed public service... we need and appreciate your contributions.
Savor all you can.... Surely your self care and balance are critical to sustaining your commitment to the newsletter. Your capacity to contextualize the current US political moment for the rest of us is a phenomenal contribution.
This is a marathon, so pace and rest count. Your wisdom and amazing ability to devour the news and make logical sense of it, are a Gift. You are an anchor in such turbulent times. Rest and enjoy the goodness around you.
Glad you are taking care of you! Beautiful picture! Enjoy your rest and thank you again for all you do. You are truly a national treasure and patriot. 😊
I agree with your friend. You deserve a rest from making sense of it all for us. Unfortunately, it must be brief respite. Speaking for myself, I’m now searching my inbox immediately upon awakening for your letter. This addict will need a fix soon! ❤️🤍💙
I don't know how you do it, but I'm very grateful for all your words of wisdom and references to history. I'm glad when you take R&R, most important not to exhaust yourself. The storm is coming!
Enjoy it wholly, while you can. Take your time. It's going to get pretty sporty now that the countdown has begun... The last 100 days will be interesting. Like rats scuttling off a sinking ship, let the stories and games begin.
Can't go on overload indefinitely. It takes a clear mind to do what you do so well. Making every day count is only possible if it includes refreshing your mind, your body and your psyche. Enjoy. Be well.

We never mind if you take a day off. Your work is such a gift, and we appreciate you more than you know.

kayaking is one of the greatest equalizers--paddle on!

As many days off as you need. So appreciate your work.
Great photo! Here in Colorado, wishing to be in Boston or the Cape! Enjoy some rest and thanks so much for your dedication!
