I'm perfectly aware of these things, but I choose to focus my energies on the positive.<br /><br />Lead by example. Care for your corner with love and light (as I will mine). And hopefully all the well-cared-for corners will eventually converge. Like plants in a garden, the healthy and strong will shade out the weeds.<br /><br />The words of a naive optimist? Perhaps. But how else to carry on?Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167412850616073440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015463992731021365.post-70188399321796122962010-10-01T10:48:35.438-07:002010-10-01T10:48:35.438-07:00Thank you, Natalia :)Thank you, Natalia :)theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423669994232456611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015463992731021365.post-4085264538232258152010-10-01T05:22:56.044-07:002010-10-01T05:22:56.044-07:00i know how you feel.

The worst part is when something feels very wrong when I'm trying to focus on something else. Like, 'KNITTING in the middle of an environmental crisis?!?'. But hey - knitting can be quite obsessive :)theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423669994232456611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015463992731021365.post-6117529168127945432010-09-29T11:40:23.315-07:002010-09-29T11:40:23.315-07:00I'm visiting here from the Corner View today, ...I'm visiting here from the Corner View today, and so came upon your post "Fall."<br /><br />I'm so in agreement with you on this post. I hated so much to be jolted awake by news or loud music, that I went out and bought myself one of those daylight lamp/alarm clocks. I'd much rather wake to a sunrise or bird chatter ~ and so this lamp has made my days begin better.<br /><br />There are times (more often these days) that the weight of the world's bad news is so heavy, I go on a self-imposed news blackout for a week or two. I'm a generally cheerful person, but when I find myself walking around with jaw clenched and short of breath, I know I'm carrying it all on my own back.<br /><br />Keep taking care of your space too ~ as taking care of ourselves is important too. I'm sure you know that, I'm just reminding you. :)<br /><br />P.S. Sorry about the somewhat long comment here.Connyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07742442227395727646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015463992731021365.post-34525832324294537962010-09-25T08:40:51.034-07:002010-09-25T08:40:51.034-07:00"this too shall pass" comes to mind.
