Problems pale into insignificance...

Problems do seem pale into insignificance when seen from another viewpoint, don't they?

I awoke this morning with the usual Monday feeling. Then I happened to watch some of the breakfast news on TV, not something I do very often as it usually depresses me. Today turned out to be worse than usual. It was far too early in the day for such worldwide confusion and I really wish I had read my book instead.

The human race seems to be doing its utmost to ruin everything it touches and I don't understand it. It's as if we don't care and I am sure that most of us do. None of the people who are in charge (politicians and world leaders alike) seem to think logically anymore (if they ever did!)
People have said that we are 'going to hell in a handcart' but they are wrong. The vehicle we are travelling in has a supercharged engine and will get us there in no time at all!

Seen from space, our world is a really beautiful place. A stark contrast to the scenes of anger and poverty that most of us see every day.We should be taking better care of our planet, as we wouldn't dream of wrecking our own des res, now would we?
Enough of all that. I said that I shouldn't watch the news, so now you know what happens when I do.

I have been working hard editing the last book in my mystery crime thriller trilogy all week and one of my characters has started to dictate what they thought should have happened! Not sure if I approve, being a control freak, but the experts tell me that it can work very well.
Seeing as most of what I have been doing is not turning out to be much good, I don't really have a choice. So If my lead character can do a better job, I can live with that.

It did occur to me the other day that he would be brilliant as a guest on this blog, maybe he would oblige…
