When no 'clever title' will do.

Feels like I’m reaching a point of oversaturation. Everywhere I go online, it seems I’m bombarded with chaos, drama and negativity. Social media’s becoming less and less friendly and invigorating, and more and more hostile, fear-mongering and just plain painful. What’s given me a real sense of community and family in recent years, is now feeling like toxic venues from which I wanna disenfranchise myself. Bummer.

Frankly, it’s all been taking its toll on me. I do believe, that which we give our attention and focus to, is that which we create and manifest more of. I wanna keep abreast of what’s happening in my outer world, yet it seems to be having the same depressing effect on me it did in my 20’s, when I decided to never again expose myself to news broadcasts. I couldn’t handle seeing man’s inhumanity to man.

I love the political awakening Trump’s inspired in me, yet that old saying, “ignorance is bliss” has a lot more meaning to me lately, than it used to. Ostriches seem to have the right idea. If I could only bury my head in the sand these days, I think I’d be considerably better off… but how can one NOT know, what one knows?

I think it’s nearly impossible to stay lighthearted and positive in today’s world~ and for Me, that’s saying a real mouthful. CAN we turn a blind eye to the evils that lurk amongst our very own? Are we able to ignore amoral and inhumane atrocities occurring all around us??

How do we come to terms with the unavoidable reality that governmental bodies we’re supposed to trust with our safety and well-being, are plotting our demise? Do we tell ourselves we’ve just fallen down the rabbit hole of conspiratorial theories, and slap ourselves hard in the face to elicit (with any luck) a reality check, as if awakening from a nightmare?

Sorry. I’m guessing some of you might relate to this post~ and if ya do, thank you. I’ve been wishing I still had some gardening projects around here, to lighten my load and lovingly reunite me with my own little Corner of Paradise. It’s always been my sanity fortifier~ therapeutic, if you will.

I’m thinkin’ I’ll find something to give my attention to~ and maybe it’s time to tackle areas of my house that could use some paint touch-ups. I’m not one to “stay busy.” I truly love the luxury of doing nothing… but alas, I’m feeling a real need to ‘change the channel.’ This is extremely rare for me. My ‘resting face’ is nearly always smiling.

Occasionally, it’s helpful to give my energy and talents to things I feel dominion over, and can actually change or improve. It helps break me outta feelings of impotence (literally the worst sensation for a solution-focused dame like me), and reminds me that life, no matter how bleak it may seem Today, will oftentimes feel different and lighter Tomorrow.

May God bless and bring you all a tiny miracle today~ and may it serve as a little reminder, you’re damned-well worthy of it.
