Chad,
Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
I do have a lot of activities and/or hobbies to occupy my time and mind.
The problem is more deeply rooted than me finding something to occupy my mind.
Unfortunately, Obama and his administration are affecting Americans on so many levels of our daily lives.
Everywhere you turn, you run into another moronic policy or idea that Obama has a hand in doing or creating.
Take for example, Muslims trying to declare jihad against the world, Islam creeping into every city in America, the stock market, real estate, foreign policy, healthcare for vets, abortion rights, Obama wanting a civilian army, stem cell research, stimulus packages, pledges of 900 million to residents/terrorists of Gaza, Obama's denial about the war on terrorism, fraudulent activities of Acorn, and last but not least, all the inept cabinet appointees of Obama; these are examples of what things that you can run into at any point of your day, even a blind man can not avoid all this garbage that our country is going through, as well as the world.
I will continue doing my job, persuing my hobbies, taking part in activities that I enjoy, and every chance that I get to stand up for whatever cause I believe in, I will continue to do so.
Inevitably, there will be times I get depressed, angry, sad, hurt, irritated, and outraged.
I will continue forward in my life doing all the things that I normally do, no matter how it makes me feel; but I will continue to be aware of what is going on in our world.
The only change I will make is to take a breather when I feel overwhelmed, take a couple of moments to reflect upon myself and be thankful for the people in my life and all the blessings that I have.
