Has anyone else here been having feelings of complete dread lately?

[electric_blue68]

140. Moments (and big sadness) off and on...

-pontential medical issue from a condition
-45 & Rethuglicans (cruelty, exasperating racism, sexism etc)
-Roe v Wade, Texas 😤 (my poor women sisters)
-Covid (booster at end of month 👍 99.8% careful masking, distancing, and staying in so much - instead of being out and about in my big (though somewhat less bustling city) make for the Covid blues 😔
-Climate change
-SAD approaching esp when daylight saving time ends


Counter measures
•Living NYC really helps - being a stronger blue/Dem city💖
•Looking at gorgeous Nature photos
•TV & Movies on line (need to buy a new TV)
•FB time w friends, family and non-political interest
groups
•Music
•Drawing, hoping to get back to painting
•Making unique silver plated wire jewelry
•Crocheting, and kniting
•Reading fascinating articles in my many interests
•Remembering my 2 big across the US trips - including the high desert of AZ , The Rocky Mountains; a trip to San
Juan, PR; a 3 week paid for trip to French speaking Switzerland to make art with my Aunt in her studio in her & my Uncle's beautiful house in a wmallish village, and in the middle of my stay she took me and one of her grand kids to Paris for 4 days, 3 nights (a city I wanted to visit for decades)!
•hoping to do more cooking, and try some new things, too

So I have a lot of good stuff, experiences I concentrate on.
