Another Beach Day
D. S. Mitchell
I have been trying to stay calm. Morning meditation, a 3 mile walk on a misty beach, background acoustic guitar played today while I worked on my *novel. No cable news. Just me, and steady controlled breathing.
There are two special elections in the South today. The South, since the late 1960’s has been Republican red. When I was a kid, the Democrats owned the South. But, strangely enough in reaction to Civil Rights Legislation backed by the Democrats the South moved lock, stock and barrel to the Republican party.
I donated to both Democratic candidates, Archie Parnell in South Carolina, and Jon Ossoff in Georgia. Not much money, because I’m a pensioner, but I felt I had to at least put something in the pot. Not that I expect the Dems to win, but I have hope.
