We really live in dangerous times, and the latest weeks have shown us that we as humans need to be way better at treating each other with respect, love, and kindness.
To stay positive right now, with the world spinning even crazier than usual, is a challenging task. Still, it is nonetheless the only way for me to remain sane while all this saddening news happens right before us on prime-time TV.
Here, in the southern part of Denmark, the prices are soaring. Yet, the Danes have gathered to collect money and necessary stuff for the Ukrainian refugees. Last night we had a TV-concert with some of our best musicians, and 30 million dollars was the satisfactory result of the fund-raising.
A few minutes ago, the first family to come to my little town was announced on local social media. And a dear friend of ours is working hard right now to organize everything from clothes to toys for the children.
My heart bleeds for the Ukrainian people, and I pray daily to the Universe and hope that this unjust nightmare will end sooner rather than later.
Why in Heaven’s name, Mr. Putin and comrades, when nothing that you do can be justified whatsoever???
You really need to resign as soon as possible; this is definitely not something that will earn you an Oscar at all, on the contrary, you will forever be remembered as a rotten war criminal.
My husband needs to shield himself from the devastating news, as he can’t bear to watch and learn more than the most necessary stuff. Therefore, I do not overwhelm him with everything I see and hear.
But to be brutally honest, I don’t like it one second. On the contrary, this is the worst crisis in the world since WW2.
But stay positive, as much as possible, and stand up for what you believe in. The time is right here and right now to fight back every inch of the way by working for the greater good of us all.
We donated money, as we don’t have the resources to take a refugee family in.
We had an impromptu lunch with our dear friends on Thursday on the positive and memorable side. We enjoyed also the more than fair Spring weather outside in the yard.
I try to find even the slightest glimpse of hope for a better future than this present hell on Mother Earth in everything I say and do now.
I need to find a better meaning in life than war, meaningless destruction, and unjust genocide. So, therefore, tomorrow begins with an early morning walk and a cup of coffee with a close friend, a cleaning project upstairs in this big fairy tale house, and buying necessary groceries and prescription medicine.
Stay positive; no matter what happens, that is my answer.
And positive experiences are abundant in our life right now, as we seem to draw even closer together with our friends, who, like us, come from the school of life rather than some fancy university.
Next week will be busy, as I have an appointment for a manicure on Tuesday, where I usually meet with my counselor. However, I have asked her to call me instead this week, so I don’t have to hurry my friend with the manicure and the cozy conversations we are beginning to try out.
I also plan to buy a 5d diamond picture of the Western Zodiac. It will help me focus primarily on positive matters for a couple of weeks.
And my new sewing machine needs to be set up for a curtain project for the living room. We need to save money and use as little energy as possible due to the worst inflation in many years. I need to go back to my early youth and even long before that to find something to compare this horrible situation with.
All things considered, I need to live my life to its fullest, even more than usual. So my upcoming Ostara ritual will be a welcome opportunity to create something beautiful, mindful, and thoughtful as a direct contrast to the atrocities in world history that we all are involuntary witnesses to.
Again, the year is clearly a working year and a social year. We have been busy from January 1 onward and have been more social than ever before in our lives.
Tonight, my thoughts go to a shattered world and the people of Mother Earth. We really need to do better this time, there is way to much at stake now.
On the positive side, however, I’m now back in the saddle again concerning my bipolar disorder. The shift to the fast lane was long-awaited, and it returned to me the other morning after a good morning walk and talking with a close friend.
It is also pleasing to feel relatively free from anxiety attacks. At least, they are small and last only a few minutes. Again, I ascribe it to my level of control and my innate iron will to make the most of every situation.
Yesterday evening soothed my body, mind, and soul. First, I watched some funny home videos of animals. Then, the concert released a bucket of tears. Of course, it helped to do both.
Everything will be just fine here, even though it is close enough what is happening in my part of the world these horrific yet life-affirming Spring weeks of the year 2022.
Stay positive, Self, you are strong, and you will overcome this.
Please stay safe and try to see the light in the darkness, wherever you are, dear readers and followers.
Help often and whenever you can; these people are in dire need.
May your week be blessed with freedom, safety, and kindness, dear readers and followers. May all wars end ASAP. And may my newfound manic creative energy remain controlled and positive.
As we all will it, so mote it be.
Merry meet and merry part and merry meet again.
