Randomness

I have not written anything in over a month, again. The spring of 2009 is taking forever to enter the realm of Michigan, USA. It appears one day and flees the next. Maybe it senses the dismal state of the local economy, the auto industry and decimation of property values. It is really easy to get taken down into a sad condition. Things could be really bad. I often say and think this and know very well that it could. How anyone ever made it through other periods in history is beyond my comprehension. So many examples could be cited I do not know where to begin. I just read a book that took place in Germany during WWII. How in the world did anyone in Europe endure the bitter cold, food deprived, paralysing fear induced during that period is beyond my realm The paralysing fear would be enough for me to give up and wither the ship. Of course, I can say this amid the luxury of my humble and plentiful life. One never knows exactly how one would react or survive given a certain situation. We have nothing on those souls of the time.
