It’s been almost 2 years since I posted. I love to be positive and found that in the past 2 years I have had issues with negativity, which sets in every time I start to write. I know I am not alone in feeling this.

Two years of “incarceration” has changed our DNA, this is my opinion. The feeling of being powerless has increased anger and created some really crazy people. Do we even realize the impact this has on our psyche? Some have lost hope. I for one am sad to see what is happening.

Who can blame you? Too many have lost their sense of humanity. People are driving faster, getting angrier, and at times violent. Every time we think it’s over, we are hit with something new a constant barrage of bad. I know many of you are trying to stay positive but it’s hard. There is no reprieve. We are losing our social skills and interaction with people is becoming difficult, we have lost the power to concentrate, and our attention span is minimal at best.

Now we are being bombarded once again. Monkeypox, food shortages, and the rising price of gas. where or when will it end?

I took my first trip in 2021, just a short little jaunt to Key West, and it what such positive brainwashing. I realized that, regardless of what is happening in the world, there are people still living their lives albeit a different life. Keeping away from my phone and the bad news that we are bombarded with daily, was a refreshing and very positive experience. What a little dip in the ocean can you for you! Now we have shark attacks. What the hell!!

The feeling is, that no one cares. It doesn’t have to be that way, a little moratorium from social media is medication for the mind. Stay away from the news, I’m not telling you to stay uninformed it is important to be informed (lord knows we must be aware of what is happening) but everything in excess is detrimental. Some start to healing is possible. Take time for yourself, life is so short and lately, it seems to be shorter and shorter. The earth is spinning faster apparently. Who knew?

Fear is a very powerful tool. Where are we going? what are we going to do about it to remain sane? There is so much beauty in the world, let’s try not to be blinded by UGLY. Don’t give up. I can’t say it’s going to be okay but we can try to make it better.

How is all this affecting you? what are you doing to stay positive? 😁
