Coping

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m full of anxiety and can barely pay attention to anything other than news from Ukraine.

When I find my mind consumed to the point of being unable to sleep or walk in a straight line or any other normal activity, I pull out my kindle and read. That works for a while.

On the whole I’m napping too much, and last night I thought I might be having a heart attack. And my country isn’t even under siege. At least not from outside our borders.

So, what works for you? How are you coping?

Peace, people.

Vladimir Putin is a Terrorist

Have you seen, though, the video of the Ukrainian woman?

The one who confronts a Russian solder?

She tells him to put flower seeds,

Sunflower seeds, to be specific,

In his pockets so when he dies

On Ukrainian soil

Some good will be left

Behind. And,

So his comrades will know

Where he fell.

The national flower of Ukraine.

Peace, people. Please.
