    There is a calmness to it. There is not much I can do but I do as much as I can while enjoying life. I don’t think anything could have made me appreciate each day as much as climate change and to boot I don’t worry much about my job and the future well because the writings on the wall. Do what I agreed to and then go out and smell the flowers and enjoy the best my life will be going forward.

      There’s a “calmness” to it now… Maybe see how calm it is once wars over water, massive climate migration, famine, etc. etc. start becoming a daily occurrence.

        I mean its just acceptance to me. Maybe try yoga or buddhism. Being a philosphy buddhism has a lot of interpretations but one Im keen on now is taking that its not that we cause our own suffering but that suffering is and we cause more of it if we don’t accept what is. Im not going to indulge in things that make global warming worse and going to try and keep on reducing my effect on the planet any way I can and relate and encourage others to do so as well as the best as they can but really im just going to enjoy what I can that is simple. Taking walks and relaxing in the outdoors in the area around me is my go to enjoy the world activity. I also think about how the food I eat might not be something I will have in the future and try to be present and enjoy every bite. Same with hot/cold clean running water, electricity, internet, and climate control. These are miracles that we have each and every day. I let it be kinda hot when its hot and kinda cold when its cold so that I can appreciate when its not. People in the south and west are letting their temperature in house get to where its causing health issues and they can’t drink their tap water. Im lucky enough to not be experiencing that so im going to enjoy not experiencing that. Im enjoying these days I don’t have to put on a kn95 due to bad air quality while outdoors (way worst than covid masking because you can’t take it off when no one is around outside. Its like reverse covid where you can only take it off in doors. well or ignore the health effects. in that way they are the same.).
