Doom surrounds us, hovering, landing on some, skirting others, leaving still others relatively unscathed so far. Life feels like a global game of musical chairs and with each round, a chair is removed. I appreciate being in a community that knows and accepts this. Doomers are in a position to get our house (our heads, our lives) in order and/or choose how we proceed into the coming chaos. That will look different for each of us and some of us will likely exit before the chaos gets personal. I can relate to Harry when he mentioned yesterday being ‘first and foremost a doomer.’ I don’t expect peace to break out or to see leopards change their spots. On the fricken contrary… We have today. I continue to look for the beauty and the humor in each day and try to be of use. We cannot change the world but we can be kind. No one promised us tomorrow. ~ Kathy Leonard
