Reality Check
Where I am it's a gloriously sunny Friday, with daffodils blooming outside my window and lots of interesting work to do inside. I just took delivery of a lovely spring blazer I ordered online to use up a gift certificate given to me for participation in a phone survey. I am so lucky. Many people in a once-beautiful country I loved (even on short acquaintance) are not so lucky. Today's reality check is in a Zimbabwe blog written by people who sound like you and me in horrifying circumstances. Given the danger of doing such a thing in their country, all of their posts are anonymous. The group describes itself as a non-violent people's movement dedicated to restoring democracy. I'll be following this story and I sincerely wish them luck.
