If we were having coffee, I would tell you that the events in Eastern Europe have made my own life’s worries seem small. Watching news reports here about what is unfolding. Sheer madness. I hope my country is supporting Ukraine as much as possible. The Ukrainians and their leaders are so brave.

Notes Tied On The Sagebrush 
Sometimes it feels like a perpetual ride on the same merry-go-round. Different scenery and horses, but the same ride. The same prayers.

It’s horrible and crazy. I’m doing my best to keep my spirits up and keep the hope that there is a future. But it’s difficult.

Amen Deb to your thoughts above.
I doubt wars will ever be far away from politics.
Trusting our government to do what’s right ?
I think that would take more faith than I have.
so sad!

It is frustrating to see this terrible war and I want to believe that the government is making a good faith effort to deal with it.

We get to see how terrible war is. Especially when it is aimed at civilians. We have seen this before in the past several years. I hope this will be the last time, and end soon, but I fear it can happen again.

I too am impressed by the courage of the Ukranian people and their leaders. I heard on the news that a few Russians are deserting, not many, but I hope and pray more have the courage to stop fighting. The Ukrainians however will not give up.

Me too. I had to stop watching the news commentators for a bit. Our country has to figure out the best way to help those people and help stop the war.
