Where do you find your solace? For me, I have a handful of places, but I keep my circle of friends and aquiantances small. For a reason. I find mine as I listed below:
Children's smiles & squeals & laughs & wonderment. My family's happiness. Positive messages, even from the least likely of deliverers. Nature. Positivity in others. Books. Most surprisingly though, the contacts and like minded humans online. It's a gift and an option I never would have dreamed about having 20 years ago. But here you are. The freedom of expression and explanation that equated to education has been unbelievable, at least for me. I can read with interest, or scroll on. I can request to follow, block, unfollow, and unfriend. I must admit, all of the above assist in my mental well being. But there's just some folks that beg a response to their commentary.
This is my no bullshit zone. My opinions are always clear, and as accurate as my research will provide.
If you've been following along, it should be abundantly clear my political affiliations and why I make the choices I make. The older I've gotten, the stronger my feelings. Huge Obama fan. Not the last president, though. A wannabe dictator filled with greed and self interest, I gag at the thought of his reign of terror, nepotism, and the way he oversaw the country as well as his administration. Had enough yet? There's more.
I'd been seeing talking doctors for some years. The first one got me on meds, the second one got me off of them, and finally, our dear GP got me stabilized. I credit my Bride for helping me, holding my hand, never letting go, and talking me off the ledge of the less sane. No bullshit.
This current political shitstorm we watch unfold on the regular gets to be a wee bit much. I thank those in my circle, my daily correspondence with online citizens, and my family for their patience and support. It's my hopes that I can mend fences, and rebuilding bridges that I've burned. I'll try, but honestly, just so much. If doing so compromises my solace, well... I'm out.
Be well, all. Thank you for stopping by.
