I know this board is for information. It is also for opinions and thoughts. I think it is time we had some.
We are living in difficult times and all struggling in one way or another. Watching today's news is very disillusioning and can be depressing if we continue to follow the trends being set. Your political views are of no interest to me. I truly do not care.
I have found that in our society we have a way of following the masses without thought and not listening the the voices of reason. I am talking about those who have wisdom. We all cope with various issues on a daily basis. Mine is rain, mud and not enough money. What's yours??
However, I have a rhubarb plant that I put in last year screaming "look at me I am beautiful and green". I have jonquils blooming in the rain. My herb garden is greening up. My entire place is green from all the seeding and fertilizing we did last fall. My chickens are running around in the rain being happy. I put up new clotheslines in the outdoor kennel to dry dog beds once the sun comes out. I am planning one for the house also. I am from Maine and this is called New England ingenuity.
I do know that Cathy copes with earthquakes on a regular basis. She has master plans for her and Bodhi. I never hear her complain. There is a volcano in Alaska erupting on a daily basis sending clouds around the Earth. Trees are budding all over the place and some are flowering.
If you watch the news it is depressing and of no value. It does not contain much truth and only negative occurances. I think the best course of action in spite of what government wants us to do is to live well and do it within our means. Enjoy natural things, get out of the way of the oncoming runaway train instead of standing still waiting for it to stop. I refuse to live in doom and gloom. It has been raining here for weeks now and I am bogged down in mud. Instead of b###hing I am working on leveling my driveway and digging trenches to run off water.
Lets hear some positive ideas for a change. How can we share and make some things better for each other. I know by the counters many read this board on a daily basis. Why not put it to good use and share some of our thoughts and ways of coping instead of waiting for someone else to do it for us. I, for one, got off the tracks a long time ago. My idea of good living is making things grow and utilizing them, lots of ammo to keep negatives in line, sharing life with animals and a small group of friends scattered all over the place. I put a rule in place a long time ago. No drama or stress allowed leave them at the gate before you come in. If you are having a bad day come back on a good one. Sound cruel well I cannot change your life only you can. 
Its a wild world.
