Who else out there sees the potential for an event cascade, or a cascade of events? My view is that we are already into it a ways, and that it just keeps growing bigger and more potentially catastrophic. Is the sky falling, or not? #cassandra #pollyanna #stocks #bonds

So, one night recently, I was driving home from donating a bunch of stuff to Goodwill, and reflecting on how great people have been with me during this whole debacle, and just feeling grateful and proud and happy things are working out the way they are...

....and I thought, "Am I being too much of a Pollyanna? Am I viewing things through rose-colored glasses too much? Am I being a naive idiot?"

I voiced these thoughts to my temporary housemates and Lisa, bless her, said, "You're making the best of shitty situation!" To which I responded, "Yup, and being positive, optimistic, and hopeful these days is a necessity! If I can spread that, so much the better!"

So yeah, still feeling grateful and proud, and pretty happy, despite all that's gone on. I've dealt with very patient, accommodating people, and I have people who love me and are willing to help and simply be there.

I am grateful.
