The world is so doom and gloom these days. I have been feeling, not myself, at times. I try to journal as often as possible. Daily if I can. It helps me clear my head.

'I miss my kids.' Check.

'Friends are struggling.' Check.

'Our investments keep sinking.' Check.

'My mom is descending deeper into her dementia.' Check.

We share many similar worries. I wish I had a magic potion to make it all better but like you, I try to see the light through the cracks in the darkness. Stay strong!

Hoping you are able to find a way through the malaise. Times are challenging (trying to find a polite way of saying the US is going to hell in a fuckin rocket ship! sorry, it will pass), but I agree that purposely seeking out small miracles are a good way to take a breath! Wishing you some solace. Today, I am finding mine in music :)

I’m right there with you and I’m so sorry about your mom! She was always so good to me! Add to my malaise a partner with Parkinson’s and here we are! Hang in there! We are not done yet!
