How is Everyone Here Coping? I'm find it very hard these days..

90. Right there with you.

Spring should be here any time now, not today but today may be the last of the snow and temps in the 20's and 30's.

Garden, watching life renew everywhere. My wonderful critters. Other than that I am not coping real well.

My husband insists on watching MSNBC from Sharpton through O'Donnell. Blech. Can't stand any of it anymore. He goes from wanting to leave the country to wanting to get Democrats into office, even if they suck because they suck better than Republicans. Blech. I can't stand any of it anymore.

This constant outrage is wearing very very thin. The constant crisis mode is killing us. Our levels of stress are high because there is no freaking end in sight anymore and nobody to turn to who can or will actually do anything. At my age, not old but getting up there, and with my living situation I can't get away to do anything. I try not to think about it much anymore. I come here probably out of a long term habit and to see how people here that I care about are doing, not too many of them left anymore. There are a few here who I would consider community but mostly I don't recognize much that I want to be a part of.

I have my music and my animals and my farm. I am well set if I ever get the nerve to just tune out. Somehow I can't quite do that yet. I should. It just seems so wrong but really, I just want the last little bit of my life not to be dealing with all the manufactured crap to make all of us small and a few very wealthy and powerful. I can't stand to see the injustice of it all and it is so wrong, so very very wrong that it makes my soul hurt all the time.

We were so hopeful in the 60's and we tried so hard to make the world a better place.
