I know from reading your blog that you likely keep your mind in a positive state with the many pleasurable activities in which you and your husband engage. Seems so much over which we can have so little influence sometimes.

And yes, climate change is eroding our beaches here in Hawaii. Now we've got those tornadoes in Kentucky.

Viruses, climate change, crime, general cruelty, it’s a lot. Add in meteors and Russians menacing their neighbors, and it’s enough to keep one up a bit. Like you, I try to do what I can to effect change for the better, and then try to not let it get to me if I can. A good book, music, movie, tv show, whatever.
