To AmyJo: "I don't believe in the Apocalypse; but, why not be spiritually present every day? That I can understand.

I think that there's a certain fear of the future and the unknown. Solution? Look around. Be present. Be joyful for all the Beauty surrounding each and everyone of us."

I started watching a TED talk about being single and happy. At this stage in my life it would be less drama; but, I really suffered being alone during covid. Which is alive and well in Thailand by-the-way.
