I'm not feeling at my most hopeful at the moment. I didn't even make it to church yesterday, which is unusual. I applied my remedies tho... Saw a friend, ate nice food and had a good sing - karaoke in the lounge by myself, the dog slightly perturbed by my enthusiasm.
Part of it stems I think from my recent entertainment being dystopian fiction. I think the tv programme 'Years and years' is brilliant. Set in the not too distant future, I have found it depressing because I think it's so plausible. My book group book, The Circle, also doesn't seem impossible, with its obsessive watching of folk and compulsion to acquire "likes". Meanwhile the Tory leadership contest has its own dystopian feel yet is an actual reality going on in my background, nothing I can do about it so I need to focus on the things in my life I can influence.
Years and years ends this week and I get a new book group book on Wednesday. I think I need to seek out that which brings joy and hope so will keep my eyes open. There's an abundance of flowers and a whole lot of lovely people out there. That's what I need to fill my time with.
