These are the times...

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. Life has been on a downward spiral for me for a while. Looks like the world is in the same spiral.

How do we find hope in times like this, times that are not what any of us want or hope for? I am losing my perspective as I age. I wonder where the world I understood has gone. It's not just the news, it's even in the programs we see on TV. So much violence, so much crudeness, so little respect for ourselves and for others.

How do we avoid the fear that the future may not be even as bright as today? Mr. Bush and his fact-denying team don't help. His father wouldn't admit global warming existed, now the current regime is in the same mind-set. Maybe they figure only Democrats live on the coasts, so they can all float away without affecting the Republican base? What a bunch. God, they gotta go.

So what can we do? Well, we can get up every morning, and hope it will be a better day than the day before. Ah, the promise of tomorrow. Never stop believing.
