Wonderful and amazing
I’ve been pretty down lately. The crappy weather, the lack of work coinciding with my utter lack of enthusiasm for work, and the continuing mess in this country’s head have all contributed. Still, there are aspects of my life that are going amazingly well. One thing I’ve learned is, you should seek out the people and situations that make you smile. That helps a lot. (Those of you out there who do this for me, you know who you are. And thank you.)
So if you’re feeling down, or even if you’re not, one suggestion I have is to bookmark Margaret Cho’s site and return often. She is an amazing writer, but even more importantly, she has a sense of hard-won optimism that is breathtaking. (Another must-read is her “Letter to Todd.”) And boy do we (I) need that right now.
