A Time to Be Frivolous

Being a political junkie makes me acutely aware of the crap happening in our country and the world today. I haven't been much of a shopaholic for years, but given the state of things around us, even the thought of spending the weekend shopping seemed ridiculously frivolous.

Then again, compared to the threat of say, global warming, international conflicts or HIV/AIDS, is there anything in our daily lives that isn't frivolous by comparison?

Life goes on as best as it can.

We go on as best as we can.

Living, loving, laughing.

And yes, even shopping.
