Some Thoughts

Good morning!

An interesting 24 hours here. Both Don and I have been feeling stressed – about money issues for sure, but mostly about the state of our democracy and the world. Don tries very hard to avoid the news, but sometimes that is impossible.

Anyway, on Wednesday we ended up having a terrible argument that spiraled out of control very quickly. Eventually, I left the den and went to bed early. We weren’t talking to each other Wednesday evening and that continued into Thursday morning until we finally reconnected and talked everything through. We were acting out. The stress had become so intense that it had to be released and I guess that’s how we released it. We feel much better now.

I share this because I am absolutely sure that this kind of thing, whether it’s an argument, feeling edgy, acting out, feeling panicked or scared or angry is happening to the vast majority of us – both here in this country and throughout the world. Find ways to manage it and let it go. It isn’t good for us and feeling that amount of stress is giving them too much power.

I do believe it will all come to a head. And I do believe that nothing that seems to be happening in DC will ultimately have any power. They’ve gone too far and it will all come back on them. They’ll implode.

That’s how I see it. And I pray I am right.

That sense of the outcome doesn’t always help when we’re in the midst of this mess. But I’m trying to pray and hold to the light.

I filmed a couple more videos – this time the subject matter is my egg cup collection.

Here is Part One.

I’ll post the second part tomorrow.

Hang in there, my dear friends.

Stay safe.

Happy Friday,
