Truly the only thing that helps me is to refocus on helping others. Then I remember I am not here for me, I am here to give my life away in meaningful ways, we can't take anything with us, so much of what we have, strive to get, and keep is merely distraction and entertainment. I like my stuff too, don't get me wrong, just have to keep it in perspective. I think for a lot of us, it is the feeling of powerlessness that eats at your guts. Finding a way to reclaim your power, not of what you can not control but of your personal reactions to what happens to you. Don't let it all sweep you away with fear. I often think with more stress on all of us we just may have to start talking to each other again, and cooperating and sharing. Just this morning there are snowblowers up and down the block everyone doing their own little driveway. Makes more sense for some to share and take turns, but we are so insulated from each other these days.
