WHEREVER YOU ARE, YOU NEED DEFENSE AGAINST THE CARES OF THE WORLD
(Author photo)
Naps are good. Ask my friend outside the California Street Trader Joe’s, whose paintings I often buy though admittedly do not hang.
I understand his position. Though I don’t work as hard as he does, I do follow the news, and to follow the news is to exhaust oneself. Relief is hard to come by.
After taking this photo on a Saturday, I attended church on Sunday. It’s a church denounced, in recent public commentary, as being Woke. This we accept (as a badge of honor;) we have a rainbow flag, and signs like “Immigrants Welcome” and “Black Lives Matter” out front, those sorts of blasphemies.
Reporting on our Woke rating from the pulpit, the pastor opened with a recommendation for naps. This followed just 24 hours after the above message from my street friend. What can I say?
God’s answer to today’s burdens? Nap.

If you want to read more about the cares of the world you’re invited to visit my Substack site, The Optimistic Eye (you can subscribe for free) on which I post, once a week, some optimistic word on political goings-on or one or two things we can do besides take naps.
Trump and his supporters eat it. What a HUGE and DANGEROUS mob of jerks.
You’re right. We have GOT to keep writing, calling, protesting, & supporting others who are on the front lines. (All of which still requires a daily nap, in my case.) Onward.
Great story, Fran! Yes, naps will probably keep us sane! I hope you are well.
love, Connie
Thanks, Connie. I am (luckily) hale & hardy & as well as we can be — as long as I get my daily nap ☺️
