I simply have this totally helpless feeling about all of this. I decided I have to let it go. As I told the kids, as long as I have a job, we'll be ok. They are feeling the fear from all of the adults around them and the news reports. And, if worse comes to worse, well, my brother and I haven't yet sold my mom's condo so I'm sure he'd let me live there for what it's costing us to carry it if something disastrous occurred.
When we've had natural disasters, people donate money, have blood drives, etc. After 9/11, we had prayer vigils and blood drives, and donations, we hung flags.. there were things we could DO that helped us make it better somehow. With this national crisis, it doesn't feel like there's anything we can DO. We just keep watching the market, and hoping it gets better soon.
