I know I can start down the road to a murky and seemingly dark place sometimes, but then I get hugs sent to me from Susan, or your wonderfully hopeful words of positivity about the world now. Thank you for that little slap across the face.
I try to live in a positive frame of mind most of the time and it is so true about how much better things are these days in so many ways. But it is just as easy to slip into the negative mind-think because of the injustices and evil in the world. It really is a matter of trying to keep one's focus on what matters.
I don't want to live like an ostrich with my head buried in the sand, avoiding all unpleasantness - that way lies abdiction of responsibility and allows evil to flourish. But on the other hand, it is not conducive to good health to only see the wrongness - that way lies madness too.
Anyway, this is a long winded way of saying thank you for reminding me how beautiful things in this world can be too.
