@Maggie Thats no good .. feeling you want to leave, but yes, its wiser to accept that life often is a mixed bag.
It is interesting how much Christmas is changing as people firm up and share their values about it.
Just some images, I hope you like.
@Appleblossom Love the pics Thankyou. Hoping your day goes as well as can be expected. I read somewhere your son has had some wins recently. That must be such a good feeling for you.
The two children I am doing crafts with are struggling, the boy in particular. I can see already that life is going to be particularly tough for him. I can only plant a few seeds and hope. I had a strange thought after writing the last sentence. It's so much easier to hope for others, not ourselves, maybe it's what keeps us going sometimes.
A few pics for you. Japan and wisteria.
For me. optimism, or hope is a discipline and a way of being, amd a lpot of work which I embrace as to embrace the other, leads to more evil in the world.
The good seeds you plant in the children will be there for them in difficult times.
