I know Mike. I'm a bit older than you, and have got to the stage where I try not to watch the news on TV as I get too upset. Those poor refugees, especially the children. And those terrible fires in Canada. There seems to be much more nastiness and vindictiveness about than I remember in the past. It's like an enactment of the Book of Job in modern times!

I find taking pleasure in nature and wildlife does regenerate hope in my heart. Seeing signs of Spring everywhere, and sitting in the sunshine is very uplifting. I passed a field of very young beef calves with their mums this morning, so sweet.

Also, listening to music and singing along takes one's mind off the World and its troubles.

I also pray, but lately I tend to nag poor God about the dreadful state of the world. I bet He's sick of me!
