such craziness

To me, the past few months have felt like that snowball rolling down the hill that you used to see in cartoons.  It rolls faster and faster, gathering more snow and becoming larger and larger and out of control.  Well, actually the last four years have felt that way, but the past few months have just been crazy.  Total governmental chaos, fires, tornadoes, wind, rain, draught, hate, fear, viral plague...the list just goes on.  Adding to that is my own personal stress of moving, college kids saddened and doubtful about their future, a newly spayed puppy, cranky and whiny because she's stuck in a cone for ten days.  Some people are starting to stockpile wipes, toilet paper, paper towels - I feel like I need to stockpile Xanax. 

I look for anything to distract, to bring about a smile, maybe even a laugh.  As I type this, I'm watching a beautiful red cardinal feasting under my feeder.  It makes me smile.  The other day, a friend of mine posted this on Facebook, and it made me laugh.

In between all the craziness, I will continue to seek out the good wherever I can.  I hope you all can too.
