In response to "Courage"

A great entry and insight, Bernie. Sometimes it just takes courage to face another day.

I don't watch a lot of TV anymore either. Don't mind the formulaic format. We do have spectrum buy everything is app based.

In response to "Change of Seasons"

I'm guilty of loving all the seasons but I do understand winter does seem like it's longer than the other seasons. In spring I love everything coming to life, in summer I love the warmth and the activities because the days are longer, autumn I love the vibrant colors and their holidays, and winter I love seeing fresh fallen snow glittering when the sun rises but I'm not fond of how easily it becomes dirty, and barren looking.

In response to "Law and Order"

I think the second half gives us a look at the picture from a different angle that we might not consider, and I like that too!

In response to "Nature brings peace"

I love rivers too! We have the Erie Canal that runs through a big portion of where I'm from (Goes from Lake Erie to the Hudson River, using the lock system to take boats full of people or goods across multiple rivers. The locks raise or lower the water within a sectioned part of the river to meet with the height of the river on whichever side they were going.). Rivers were always something that were there too and always so relaxing and also such a part of the communities they go by. When I was back home (now two weeks ago!), the town my sister lives in has a "Concert on the River" and it's local/small bands that come and play music for free and people just bring their lawn chairs and hang out. There are a couple of local restaurants that are called "Bridge Runners" and come down and take orders for people if they want any food and bring it to them. Some other towns also on rivers all seem to have something similar. It's really cool!

The ocean would be awesome. I've always been amazed by it the few times I've seen it (The Atlantic specifically). Lake Ontario gives me ocean vibes, because it's so immense, but seeing the ocean and it being warm will always just be...such a weird feeling. lol

In response to "Nature brings peace"

I've always been fond of bodies of water. I generally prefer the ocean, but there is something calming about lakes and rivers too.

In response to "What even is anything?"

Jim

It's also what I try to focus on. I wish I could blame social media. Unfortunately, it's real life that drags me down. So, I have to pretend it doesn't exist for awhile, so my mental health doesn't disappear into the nether. So I focus on things I can control and I focus on things that make me happy and it helps!

In response to "What even is anything?"

For me, it's always been knowing what is real, and what isn't. That old song, 'Everything Is Beautiful' springs to mind. If you believe everything you read or see on Facebook, you're really in trouble. The same goes for any Social Media site. A lot of people on those sites only want to create hate and discontent. The spreading of lies is their main goal it seems. I choose to ignore that and focus only on the beautiful things in life. The things we cherished as children. Dang I sound old!

In response to "What even is anything?"

Joy

Yes, definitely! It is something I try to focus on, especially if I feel the weight of all of the negativity. Cat groups on FB help. Seeing people doing good things help too. So I try to focus on those things.
