I’ve got a lot of friends getting the pink slip these days.

It is not an easy time.

Markets are odd. War in Europe has been going on for months. Old enemies are acting like old enemies.

There are bitter and angry disputes over what is true. The earth is looking exhausted.

If you’ve scraped a few things together, you are wondering, will it be okay? Do I have enough?

The more thoughtful wonder if it is worth anything at all.

I don’t know what is happening, but I’m trying to look at it all with positivity.

I don’t see another choice. And, to be honest, it’s more fun.
