Thanksgiving Block

More bad news every time I touch my phone, read news, open facebook or twitter….I can’t think straight.  I feel on the edge of nausea, disgust, anger, and/or tears so much of the time as Trump’s appointees and cataclysmic agenda begins to roll out.  This is beyond bad.

Yet here are my children, under my roof, sleeping in on Thanksgiving morning.  I’m sure I do have a lot to be thankful for.  It’s just damn hard to conjure it right now. 

Perhaps I should start with the usual:
Everyone's health, yadda yadda yadda....

It feels so horribly empty, as the dark cloud of what’s to come looms.
Laughter.
Cookies.
Eking out a living without a regular job.

Life in the good ole days of the pre-apocalyptic era.
Free speech.
Free press.
Freedom of religion.
A woman’s right to choose.
Shelter.
Water.
Food.


Hope for the planet, at least for a few more days.
