Brexit

So.  Its a funny space to be in.  I am actually feeling depressed about it.  Proper heavy low feeling.  I keep thinking I want to drink a lot of wine.  Which then makes me feel like an alcoholic.  I am not going to drink wine, as it feels like the wrong thing to do.  Besides I did that on Friday and Monday and it hasn't really made things better.  I know that happiness is a choice.  So I need to decide to be happy.  And think of all the good things.  Like how lucky I am and how I have my health and my youth (compared to some! ha!) and I even have a house to live in, plenty of food and work I love to do.  So I am lucky.   I love my work.  I love my family.  I love my friends.  I love Brighton.  I love dancing and I went dancing this very morning.  During that dancing for a while I genuinely smiled with real joy. 

I have absolutely no idea what to do about the whole Brexit fiasco.  I am utterly dissapointed with the politicions we have  - apart from Caroline Lucas and  - it appears  -most of the Scottish MPs.  I particularly like Nicola Sturgeon and wish I could vote for her.  She seems to have her head on straight. 

I have already voted for Caroline Lucas.  I guess I should consider who my MEP is.  While we still have them.  I can apply for an Irish passport and should it come to pass that the UK leaves the EU I will most definitely want to remain an EU citizen. 

What else.  I have signed a few petitions.  I could write to the Labour party.  And the Torys.  I really really want to keep the NHS well funded.  And fight for a good education system for the country.  I spose.  It feels fairly paltry.  But hey.  I feel that ACTION is the way forward.  Its hard to be depressed if you are actually doing something.  Harder anyway.

And the other thing I am going to do is keep thinking of positive things.  LIke those kids who did random acts of kindness.  And I think I will do some of those too.  I did that 29 things a while back.  I think I will start that again. 

that's all from me.  Brexit Schmexit.
