I don't want to hide my head in the sand, but the way these nitwits are carrying on, I don't want to give them an audience. For now, I'll stay informed, but I won't let all this insanity get me too riled up. I agree, Monica.

But somehow, I don't see that happening. It is very, very frustrating, but hiding our heads like ostriches may not be the solution. Yet, it does make for a more stress-free life.

So glad you are surrounding yourself with gorgeous mountains ablaze in autumn colors. That always puts everything into perspective!

Surf's up, baby! What you throw out to the universe is always positive so I’m especially happy to share a wave with you. Surf’s up, baby!

My act of defiance in the face of this childishness is to not watch the news, but to walk outside and breathe in the amazingness that is autumn color right now.

All of which is to say, I'm riding your wave today. :-) Yesterday I just wanted to pummel them . . . at the same time, like you, I saw a glimpse of what I could feel like if, without denying the anger and frustration, I could make more internal space for the giving, POSITIVE part that exists in me as well.

I'm done with the listening to the inane rhetoric that's been spewing forth from our friends in Washington. I will take your advice and be positive and try to do as many positive things as possible. You speak the simple truth, my friend. You said it, Becky. I’m done with the listening to the inane rhetoric that’s been spewing forth from our friends in Washington.

All IS well when I focus on all the positive, cool people in my life. Speaking of which, will I see you at Cork's memorial on Monday? He was definitely one of the "good ones." We have a lot to celebrate for having had his positive influence in our lives. Nice to hear from you, Tom! All IS well when I focus on all the positive, cool people in my life.

Good for you for focusing on things that nourish you. Just think if everybody did a little more of that. Somehow I think we'd be less fixated on tearing our nation apart. BTW I'm heading to your most recent post later this evening. Right now I'm scrambling to get a piece written for one of my favorite clients -- yes, I'm lucky to be surrounded by great people on so many levels--but I can't wait to see what you are up to!
