I listened to a nice radio program (Hidden Brain) about coping with really big problems (like climate change and war and project 2025...). A suggestion was to pay attention and work to solve the problems but also to allow yourself some time to enjoy some of what you are wanting to protect. Reading a book is a perfect example. The radio program was based on an interview with Sarah Jaquette Ray, the author of a book titled A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet. I just read Playground by Richard Powers.
Yes, it's a wonderful, healthy idea to take the time to enjoy what you're trying to protect! Today I'm picking up the book Playground at my library, and I've put Field Guide to Climate Anxiety on hold. I've also started exploring Hidden Brain podcasts. Thank you.
Linda, thanks for sharing the title of your current book. One of mine is Margaret Atwood's Burning Questions. I kind of prefer the sound of yours, a little lighter!

Your comments all struck a cord with me, Deda! At my age, I will continue to hold a book in my hands. At present it is Sincerely, Andy Rooney.
Many thanks for your comforting words, Deda.
