I'm taking some time off.  I don't feel well.  I am having trouble figuring out how I am going to live in this country.  I can't watch the news.  I have such a feeling of dread that it is hard to breathe.  I've always been a very optimistic person but I've lost that.  I can find no good coming from all of this. I feel like I am watching someone die, and I am.  It's America.

I do understand! It has knocked the wind out of me. Tommy said after Trump won that "maybe it would have been better if he had died." I was shocked as that is not him at all.
He will try things that the US will have to stop. We will.

Hugs to you, Joyce. I hope you find workable coping strategies and a greater sense of peace. Yes, don't watch the news. Focus on creativity -- new cuisine, making art, expressing the beauty inside you. I hope you come back to blogging some day, my friend.
