Editor,
Since our presidential election was stolen, I have cried me a river, just like our weather in Eureka recently; so I got a therapist to help me. My pineal gland is awash with grief (Rene Descartes believed the “pineal to be the principal seat of the soul.”)
She suggested I write, every day, about something I am grateful for.
- Living in Eureka with green all around me, trees, gardens, flowers and water
- A reasonable city council
- The absolutely wonderful and beautiful farmers’ market
- Creative artists and musicians who make life lighter and sweet
- Progressive political people who will not tolerate Fascism
- Lesbians, gay men and trans folk who have lived happy lives despite hatred and abuse
- Intelligent church people who do not discriminate against anybody
- The Independent
- Humans who care for animals
- Beauty wherever it is found
- Good and kind people who help one another.
- Having a good friend and life partner who makes through the changes with me
Thank you.
