The sense of hysteria is very real

What I felt yesterday appears to be a reality. Folks all over the country are feeling and experiencing great losses.

I myself felt a hard ball in my stomach yesterday when the cash register rang up twice as many dollars as I had intended to spend at the super market. And that was after I shopped carefully and picked up more 2fers than I generally do.

Is anyone really in charge of this financial disaster?

Can we count on a government now when we have experienced so little real leadership in recent years?

And frankly I wonder who is in charge! Or if anyone is at the helm to this seeming sinking boat!

Hysteria

There is something in the air that smells like hysteria.

My mailbox is overflowing with sales notices and sensational news, much of it about the upcoming election. Eleven days to go.

With my predilection for dystopic thoughts, this hysteria might become contagious.

However, tonight I feel calm. Is it about to storm or am I truly in control?
