I find it difficult to write anything these days. Try as I might to stay focused on my own life the world intrudes all the time. It’s hard to concentrate when the world is so messed up that better days ahead do not seem likely. I live in a place where most people I come in contact with are okay with the horror that is now our government. Even now, right this minute in the early morning I cannot put together a thought worth sharing. Damn these power hungry fools for taking away not only the rights supposed to be guaranteed by our constitution but also destroying our peace of mind. My usual ability to find something positive to focus on is lacking. Sigh. Going to make more coffee and try again to make a better day.
