How are you?

And I'm depressed as hell, same as everybody else. And I'm scared, though what happened hasn't really hasn't sunk in yet. I'm shocked every time it hits me again. And I really don't understand how this possibly could have happened. Like everybody, I couldn't wait until the convicted felon/sexual abuser was behind bars so we'd never have to see or hear from him again. 
I'm trying to stay focused on the " here and now."
I know that action conquers fear. But right now I juat want a thrree day nap with no interruptions.

And how are you and the situation in NC, I think about Black Mountain all the time. My grandmother lived in the retirement community there, lovely place, I spent a lot of time there, as you know, and I can't help wondering how they're doing. I knew all of the members of her peace group quite well, considered them kindred spirits and friends. But they were all senior citizens except one woman who was also older than me, and the last time I was there, for the funeral of the man who was the closest I had to a grandfather and there were only 5 of us left in 1999. BTW, he was 101 1/2 - and there were international guests since he had been the head of the YMCA worldwide, based in Geneva. He was forced to retire at 65 (in 1962!) and that's when he moved to Black Mountain to run the YMCA Southern Conference Center, Blue Ridge Assembly.
