Maybe shut off the news occasionally or pursue only pleasurable things, like tiring myself in the garden or reading an uplifting book. I don’t often succeed, nasty world events have a habit of intruding. Perhaps it’s enough if we try in our small way to make what difference we can?Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-67120200070178150242019-05-27T10:39:13.735-07:002019-05-27T10:39:13.735-07:00As soon as I read your title, that song was in my ...As soon as I read your title, that song was in my head and will probably be there for a while. I too admired Doris Day, especially her love for animals. <br />It is easy to get all knotty about what is going on today but there are times in history that were much worse and we managed to survive. The bad part is that with all the outlets for the news, it is harder to escape the horrors today. I keep saying I will ignore the news but it is like a train wreck, hard to look away. We will survive and hopefully thrive, that is my hope.

Having her some to stay every year will be something to look forward to. :) <br /><br />I hadn't heard about Doris Day's passing. She always seemed like such a kind woman. I knew of her love of animals. That's a marvelous song to have in your head.<br /><br />I get myself worked up into knots sometimes, too, over those same things you mention that I can't do much about, either. I know that we can only do whatever we are able to do in our own backyard, so to speak. The bigger picture really does help. And I remind myself that if I am all wound up in those knots then I am sending out negative energy...and I don't want to do that. (A lot of reminding the past couple years!) :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-28286908665142255542019-05-26T21:22:20.486-07:002019-05-26T21:22:20.486-07:00The day is done now.
