With the blustery weather and the very high winds, I have to occupy myself somehow, so I have been domesticating. That involves anything around the house from doing laundry, to ironing, to working on projects, to cooking, and so forth. Not a good day to be out and about, so I have tried to stay put. Watched a Netflix movie, have been reading a book, vacuuming, reading the Google news.
But outside the walls of this warm home, the turmoil in the worlds seems to me more intense than I can remember in a long long time. Revolutions sweep across the Middle East, de-stabilizing nations, which remain vulnerable until new governments/leaders emerge.
On the home front, protests continue in Wisconsin as government officials take on labor unions, a miniature passionate version of the gathering in Egypt. Federal and state and local governments all struggle to deal with huge financial deficits. Tonight's news warns of a possible government shut down. I am not generally a pessimistic person, but watching the news lately makes me fear for the stability of this nation.
The future looks pretty forlorn, at the moment, not unlike the picture above. Tomorrow is another day. A little bit of sunshine would make a world of difference.
