What happens in the U.S. has a profound affect on Canada and the rest of the world. At the moment, I'm trying to remain positive and hope that calm, cool and intelligent heads prevail everywhere.

I was frightened during a crisis--something to do with Laos--because my brother was on a ship somewhere "over there," and I wouldn't watch the news the whole time Duane was in Vietnam. However, I have to admit, those fears were when I was young--I didn't see much beyond myself and what was going to change MY life. (Squirming when I admit that.)Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-23656186828550014932016-11-14T07:33:49.503-05:002016-11-14T07:33:49.503-05:00Welcome back, Pollyanna--good to see you! I'm ...Welcome back, Pollyanna--good to see you! I'm so with you on everything you've said here. I can only remember one other time in my (ahem) 63 years that I've had this cold, cold in the pit of my stomach about the state of our nation, and that was when I first understood the power of nuclear weapons. I was maybe 10 or so--I spent nearly a month having a hard time falling asleep at night because I was sure war was imminent. But you are right--we both have lots of reasons--most of them similar--to be grateful. So no fear--let's focus on the good in our lives, those grandkids, spouses, writing, our great country, and good, dear friends . . . we can do this. We can so do this.
