In my youth, the world kept a healthy distance.

Today, I live with the world getting closer,closer, closer. To push it back just alittle: I drink my coffee.

I make my bed.

I keep my house cozy and in order.

I read fiction.

I water my plants.

I feed my birds.

The news is quicksand; the news can sink me everyday.

In retaliation, I drive through DQ and get a large cone,

sometimes a chocolate one!

choc and sugar make me ill these days - no respite from the news for me! (not so - I lose myself in my garden and paintings and hope I can hide out there when the apoco arrives)
