Tough times indeed! How do we get through this? I can only share what I am doing.
I’ve culled down on what I read or listen to. Going over and over what the liar in chief and his minions are doing can send me into a spiral of hopelessness and despair. Just enough info to keep informed. Heather Cox Richardson is my prime source and I get NYT news bites and a couple of other sources.
I concentrate on being the best I can be in my own circle of influence (which grows smaller as I age — I just turned 90 — and let things drop away). I just quit Facebook. My way of resisting one of the chief oligarchs, Mark Zuckerberg.
I continue to cultivate my relationship with the Divinity in which the big picture exists. The Universe is under control. This next 4 years is a tiny blip in the larger scene.
All this rolled together helps me stay sane, and patiently stable. Not much else to offer right now.

Roger! I have been meaning to reach out to you and Diane, inspired by noting that this past Hanukkah was the 20th anniversary of our trip to Israel! Margie Coles and I just got together this past Shabbat after not seeing each other since pre-covid 🙂 Happy 90th birthday to you! And glad to hear you’ve dropped FB – I am following soon. I never use it but want to collect some folks’ contact info before I close it up. Very well wishes and big hugs to you, and thank you for this glimpse of how you are staying sane.
And thank you Ruth for weaving us all together! 🙏💜
