a songwriter's praise

I had my first dream of 2022 last night.  I won't describe it as I usually do.  The only person in it that I recognized is someone I had a crush on and who died over 3.5 decades ago.  I know I'm stressed out at the many continuing and new crises, but my brain is reaching rather far back to find some kind of reassurance.

Instead, do you remember the famous and reassuring song "Let It Go" from Frozen?  One of the songwriters tweeted a recognition and encouragement to the young girl singing it to other children in a bomb shelter in Ukraine.  Please give a like to that tweet and the original video source on Twitter.  I suppose everyone needs at least a small measure of empathetic peace these days.

Meanwhile, today marks the first day of me burning up lots of accumulated vacation days.  I'm not working for the rest of this month.  I suppose I need to get my house cleared of junk, so it's easier to move soon.  Just in case.  I probably won't do that prep work today though.  I'll probably play some computer games to soothe my own mind, steeling myself for the results of the Minneapolis "2020 Civil Unrest After Action Review" at 1:30pm, then go see what I can do to support the local teachers strike that starts today, besides just signing their petition this morning.

I just don't have any attention/stability to spare for the protests in Florida or the refugees fleeing Texas.  (Remember Texas?)

Good luck, everyone.
