good thread! it's hard to stay positive at the moment.
I just got up not too long ago but so far nothing bad has happened!

Yesterday: I went cross country skiing even though it was very windy and cold. No one else was in the woods and the sun was sparkling on the snow. I felt virtuous for having a good workout. Then I went to a press screening for a new film I will be reviewing. Just a short review so not much money but I have not gotten much work from this paper lately so I am thankful when they give me anything (they have cut down on freelance assignments and are farming work out to staff they donlt have to pay anything extra to; same all over I guess). Then I had a very late lunch at the cafeteria on campus (London broil and a big green salad), went to have office hours for a bit, then taught my Australian Cinema class for four hours. Then came home. Made some cheddar on toast. Unwound on the computer. Went to bed.

Had very intense dreams last night; a bit disturbing, some of them. But I like intense dreams. I think they're refelective of my anxiety about the war these days...

Today: I teach two film classes this afternoon, then have a drink with a friend, then off to teach an aromatherapy class for my coven.

I am generally thankful every day and know I have so much to be thankful for. Lately I get a bit cranky for no real reason and I am sure it's because I feel helpless about you-know-what. But we all have to keep on...and hope for peace.
