I shared this first for the amazing art of the Buddha made out of pens and coins, and second because I think the article is very good.
It's too late for me to vow not to burn out. Having burned out in various ways, if I see a way to help that I am capable of, I am fairly often moved to do it.

Wally's resemblance to most of the Doctors is slight, but hey, you can't go wrong with a costumed Welsh Corgi. And seeing him cosplay the 12th Doctor is worth the wait.

Oh Wally.

That was a hoot -- and I think his Peter Davison cosplay was The Best.

I don't know if I can promise not to burn out, either. I've been recovering from a burnout for the last year and a half, and even though I've made huge progess it doesn't feel like I've completely overcome it. 'Vow' is such a huge commitment in the end.

I'm sorry you burned out and glad you're making progress.

I don't make vows because I know I can't control the future, and I think vows make it sound like I can. Also because I feel trapped when I think about making vows.

I sometimes state intentions and priorities. My outlaw wedding promise was something like "I will do what I can today to keep our relationship strong for the future."
