My little part of the world

 

In a world which is wearing and hard to get along with, you have to work on your little part of the world. Work on your health, hobbies, relationships and interests. Keep yourself positive and do what you can to keep your little part of the world happy and inspiring. It is how I cope and how I have always coped. I have developed so many interests because curiosity is the one thing which keeps negativity at bay. No, I am not perfect. My life isn't perfect and there are days, weeks, months and years where it is gruelling.

I heard today we are going to have more right wing protests in Australia on July 1st like the anti vaccine convoys. I can't find any reference to anything like that so maybe it was just talk. We actually need more benign and optimistic ways of living now we have shed the LNP government federally. We can't keep doing negative. Anyone can protest. They can have a protest about what they like but not when it threatens others or makes it difficult to go about daily life.  We need to be able to get on with living safely and our wellbeing is of ultimate importance at the moment. 

It is therefore good to hear our Premier, Peter Malinauskas, is supporting the Vinnies sleep out. It is good to see he has returned the Adelaide 500 to our state for the next 5 years. So many people loved it. It is also great to see we are starting to work positively on energy and renewables. We need some good initiatives to focus on.

In the meantime we need to renew ourselves. Spending time improving your life and your living area is not such a bad thing. Taking the time to explore your local environment helps keep the mind on what you an do rather than all the big issues and concerns which can swamp you daily. It is never about tuning out, as far as I am concerned. There are times when you it is important to put your energy into yourself and then you can better deal with what the world serves up.
