Gratitude

 
1. The weekend is here! Nothing too big planned: food pantry volunteering and them Dems' table at the farmers' market on Saturday. Doris is working, and then we'll go out to eat. Sunday we're doing dinner with Chris and Heather. 

And - I want to write about other things but I feel bad writing them. Like how I listened to a story on NPR about life in Haiti and how I feel grateful I don't live there and how much I hate the suffering on this planet. And don't get me started on the climate change article I read. It makes me glad that I am not any younger. Writing about this juxtaposed with the above feels so weird. I wish this planet got a "do over" and could go back 40 years and fix things. I'm so happy with my life now and so fearful that the entire planet will be a nightmare in a few decades.

I suppose I need to write about this stuff, as depressing as it is.
