Never have I ever let my fears and anxiety rule my world. I can't let the anxiety take over. I work really hard to stay positive and look for the small moments of peace around me. A bird singing. Flowers blooming. A gentle kiss on my shoulder from my husband. These things I cherish. The rest, I battle every single day.
I embrace this. I think it's necessary for life to be ... good. But I can't in truth do it every day anymore. There is so much sadness, and I really don't like that I've added to it with this post. Thanks, Nancy, for the reminder.
Oh, I agree about the too much sadness. The news is so depressing. But for my own wellbeing, I have to try to see the good. Otherwise, there is no hope.
Well said, Liz! I get it…I worry about grandkids and what their futures wil look like. I ever thought we’d live with such cruelty from a president/an administration! Guess it’s my Pollyanna self that keeps waiting for
a hero, good folks who’ll stop it all. I believe they are all of us and by voting and speaking up…we can overcome. Keeping hopeful helps my anxiety and overthink! 😏☺️ Thank you for saying what we needed to hear!
The weather has sure been brutal this week. Here's hoping for day days ahead.
For sure!

Me, either, and getting more so all the time.

Interesting post. I love your closing: Be nice to somebody. I especially like doing that to strangers.
