Attitude and Gratitude

I am sometimes disheartened when I read something that I was going to write about, like I have just taken too long, and the world couldn't wait, and everything I have to say is already being said by someone else.

Which is probably the wrong way to look at things of course.

Now I try to see all the people talking about the topics I'm interested in as validation and opportunity to engage and saving me some time.  Yes there's still a lot of bullshit in the world, but I think we do live in an exciting and eventful era with a lot of interesting new ideas and rediscoveries of old ones.  The times they are a changin' and we are in the thick of it.  There's nothing disheartening in that.
