I agree with Karen absolutely. You are such a sweetheart - so full of empathy, compassion and intelligence that the state of the world bothers you to the point of despair. I feel it too. Sometimes I read the news and just sit and cry. But I need a break from all the misery in the world so I am up for the Happ Hap Happy blog. Let's forget our troubles and engage in a bit of silliness and giggliness.

Oh, and I am so glad you are still blogging after 6 years.
Love you xxxx

I no longer read newspapers or watch the news on television (and not because we no longer have a television to watch). I'm very careful what I read online, news-wise anyway, because it makes me so sad and depressed.

I do not like being uninformed. It makes me feel like an idiot at parties (because we're such social butterflies we go to so many, you know. NOT EVEN!) But even more than uninformed, I do not like being depressed.

What I'm saying here is that I totally understand what you mean. It's hard to read about things that are so big, there is no way you can fix it (although I think if they let a few of us have a go at the budget, we'd have it figured out by five o'clock, leaving plenty of time for drinks afterward). Feeling helpless is another thing I don't like. News generally makes me feel that way.

You are smart, caring, and dynamic, which explains why the state of the world bothers you. I think most people would like to see some big changes, but we're kept at bay by the ones who think they know better.

When I read your post, I kept saying, "yup, that's exactly what I was thinking." EXACTLY.

So stop reading my mind. It tickles.
