Monday morning blahs

It's so hard to be optimistic sometimes and today is one of those times.
News is awful, as usual.
Lawmakers are bickering, as usual.
Celebrities are making idiots of themselves, as usual.
I no longer feel that I am capable of caring, let alone making a difference. Maybe the trick is not to take it to heart so much. People are going to do what they are going to do. All I can worry about is my own little sphere of influence.
So, for today, I am going to smile, pet the cats, pat the dogs, love my hubby, do a good job, write some pages, and let everything else handle itself.
World, you're on your own.
