As I walk through this dark tunnel of disturbing news and readying myself to debark a sinking ship, I keep an eye out for the light at the end of this tunnel. While looking ahead to that light is a worthwhile goal, there's no harm in using the lamp I have with me.

I've read Hans Christian Andersen in the past; this past weekend I binged watched adaptations of his stories and, in the midst of the disturbing news I'm hearing, I wore a smile on my face. His stories remind me of the good things in this world. As I prep, I will include his complete works. I'm getting the printed form because it is EMP proof and does not require batteries.
