It's hard not to fantasize about the future, and these days it's not a happy exercise. All the "what if's" and "what will I do's" can spiral into depression and panic. Here is a story that suggests another way.

Another letter to Stephen Miller. 5-things-I-did include designing a billboard for the interstate, opening the Constitution and discovering treason has been committed. Also, a suggested vacation spot -- edge of Mauna Kea volcano. Ah, sulfur....breathe deep, my friend.

Love (and hate) know no bounds. I have leapt into a relationship with Stephen Miller. Read my second letter in which I suggest a one-way trip to Transylvania. I also list my 5 great deeds this week, which I hope will cause smoke to come out his ample ears.

We were in Greece last month and stumbled on a bit of history, not ancient, just a few decades old, but relevant and inspiring. Here it is: lucymoore.com/can-we-have-...
Velos is an american destroyer given to Greece after world war II. It was considered a turning point in the overthrow of the junta dictatorship in Greece in 1973, when the commander mutinied, refusing to serve the dictatorship and going ashore in Italy. A young Greek sailor who told us the story suggested that we could take it back -- to fight our current attacks on democracy

Sometimes breaking up is hard to do. Not this time! I'm ending it with Elon. For weeks I have been sending him letters and postcards listing the 5 excellent things I've done each week, and did he ever acknowledge my good works? Never! Read my breakup letter.

One of my "5 things I did" a few weeks ago was to write to the Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. apologizing for the disgusting behavior of our so-called president and his cronies when Zelenskyy visited. Her thank you postcard is on my refrigerator, where special things belong.

I came home yesterday to find this four-pack of toothpaste on the kitchen table. These are not small tubes.
“That is the most optimistic thing I’ve seen in a long time,” I declared. (read on)

I came home yesterday to find this four-pack of toothpaste on the kitchen table, “That is the most optimistic thing I’ve seen in a long time,” I declared. “You mean like it assumes that I’ll live that long?” He asked, adding “or that if I do, I’ll still have teeth by then?” “Yes, and that the country will last that long, and the planet, for that matter, and that even if we somehow hang on, we’ll be thinking about toothpaste.” I realized how pessimistic I am. It is there under layers of denial, fear, anger and numbness. It is there under a spunky veneer of carrying on and doing normal things, like planting tulip bulbs for seasons to come, freezing leftover green chile stew for next winter, mentoring a young person for a bright future, renewing a library card, going to a grandchild’s graduation from high school. These are things I never questioned. They are what we do in normal times when we assume the future, although unknown, will be more or less what we’ve experienced . But now, I am aware that in each of these things there is fragility and uncertainty. I am wistful, anticipating such political, economic and climatic upheaval that the ordinary will be threatened and may not survive. I’m filled with nostalgia for what I still have but may lose in the months and years to come. And, so I celebrate my husband and his more-than-a-lifetime supply of toothpaste. Let’s go for it. Along with my premature nostalgia and forecasts of doom, let’s imagine that yes, those tulips will come up in a sunny, peaceful community; and yes, we will thaw out that stew and remember a springtime of fear that is now past; and yes, my young mentee will be marching ahead, boldly on a career path that will be good for her and for all of us; and yes, the doors of the library will still open at 9 and close at 6; and yes, that grandchild will be finding herself, just as I did, with a long road of opportunity and challenge ahead. The future is unknown, but let’s give optimism a chance.

Another letter to Elon. A suggestion for him and an introduction to some heroes of mine, all of which I'm sure he'll be very interested in -- not! But that's ok. I'm having fun and doing good deeds! lucymoore.com/elon-meets-m...
satirical letter to Elon Musk describing 5 things I did this week, including sending banned books to library, donating to World Central Kitchen and AFSA for foreign aid workers, called congresspeople about social security and medicaid, held meeting to write postcards to Elon. Also suggested he sign up for Toastmasters.
