I was devastated when I heard about the catastrophe in Japan, but did you know that a day earlier China also had a devastating earthquake? It was barely mentioned in my local newspaper and I didn't hear a thing about it on TV. We can do nothing about natural events, but when it comes to events that occur in places such as Libya, we can. I signed a petition for that no fly zone and I was happy along with the other hundreds of thousands who also signed it that it finally came to fruition. Meanwhile, even when my small actions amount to something, I continue to pray for the innocent in this world. As the wise Simon in "Lord of the Flies" quipped "what else is there to do?"Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273322844215728734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-84862920380876518622011-03-19T18:46:04.266-04:002011-03-19T18:46:04.266-04:00Hello. 1st-time visitor to your excellent blog. Th...Hello. 1st-time visitor to your excellent blog. This post on the blues --or what Churchill called "his big, black dog"-- struck a chord. We all must find ways of shooing it away. But it certainly bears on your winter question: "What was the most significant event that happened in 2010?" I think, after this country woke from a decade of international belligerence, and began to feel the future again, that was the year we realized how much we'd been hobbled and how far we had to go. 1st step on a long road. We need vagabonds. Country could follow claustrophobes (like me, as you may conclude if you visit my blog),I suppose, to some sort of freedom, but who needs the drama? You're on the right track.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-74403420727692888412011-03-19T13:37:03.283-04:002011-03-19T13:37:03.283-04:00Keep staying strong DB, life brings all of us sadn...Keep staying strong DB, life brings all of us sadness, some of us more than others, but we just need to keep a positive attitude and we'll get thru anything. My "No One Or Nothing Will Get Me Down" works for me.

It is not about anything in particular, and as you said, it does not last. For me it seems to be about what I have not done in my life that I perhaps had hoped to do at one time. The clock ticks on and my days are getting numbered and it just feels a bit melancholy at times to think of all that I haven't done or will never do. Soon the cloud will lift and I will once again remember all that I have done and will continue to do and my spirits will feel lifted.pacifica62https://www.blogger.com/profile/03433535460716644295noreply@blogger.com
