Problems pale into insignificance...

Some other world...
 Any problems do seem pale into insignificance when seen from another viewpoint, don't they?

I awoke this morning with the usual Friday feeling. Another week nearly gone and not an awful lot to show for it. 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 world wide confusion and I really wish I had read my book instead.

The human race is 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 another world, like the one in the photo above, 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, 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 at my book all week and guess what happened? My lead character started to dictate what happens next! I am not sure if I like the idea much, 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 Kate Devereau (my lead character) can do a better job, I can live with that.

Maybe she can throw some light on why we are not attracting much traffic on this blog, because it beats me. I know I am sadly lacking the experience that seems to be necessary, but I have researched and read a lot of helpful advice, so maybe I just need more patience. That commodity seems to be wearing off as I am getting older, and I am beginning to hate it. I have always had more patience than the average bear and I really need it now!

Anyone know where I can get some?
