Not to mention the threat of America bringing "Democracy" (via war) to countries around the world whether they want it or not :(<br /><br />@Gail<br />It feels, as the old saying goes, like "rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic", but you're correct that there's not much any individual can do about it. It might feel better if I had some control over my personal life instead of being dragged along by the whims of the people around me. Haven't done much shopping lately, though I have donated loads of stuff that will likely never fit again as reality keeps intruding. <br /><br />@Vronni<br />Ha! That's probably a universal.<br /><br />@Beth<br />Maybe if we storm the Bastille and call it a day, but people always want to set up a Guillotine!<br /><br />@Emily<br />I wish I were confident in my intention and actions. <br />I'm not going to worry about sleeping position because *dark laugh* I never sleep.<br /><br />@Vix<br />Quick, get yourself to another festival!<br />Must have been a nice respite though.

I believe that we are planting seeds that will endure beyond me and the life of this project, and that's how the long arc of the moral universe works."<br /><br />On a lighter note, the skeleton picture was good for laughs, and it made me look up the perils of sleeping on my side. It turns out there's something medically inadvisable about every sleeping position, so there's no reason to worry about side sleeping in particular.

There is very much a sense of "...and this is where I came in," watching the news. Back to the barricades, sisters, back to the barricades!

I understood your frustration though. I read a lot of news and I surely believe the US has gone off the rails for now. It gets me down too. I just do not get this current Supreme Court or half the Congress . But, in many ways the world is made up of yang / yin, good and bad , destruction / creating. We can only control how we live our own personal lives and shake our heads at everything else.<br /><br />Sounds like a trip to the thrift store is in order for you to clear your mind. It is amazing what a 5 dollar buy there can do for your spirit.<br />It is raining in Pa right now. Which is good for our garden. <br /><br />Best Wishes Always,<br />Gail from Pa.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-6186722222431140622022-06-22T22:44:24.683-07:002022-06-22T22:44:24.683-07:00the sad thing is - its not only in america since a...the sad thing is - its not only in america since a while.....<br />"good old europe" i.e. has long gone - americanization & globalization took over in all the possible and most bad ways.<br />xxxxbahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.com
