Sometimes the politics in the US upsets me so much that I dream about living in a more compassionate and civilized country that doesn't tolerate extensive poverty and imprisonment, that values access to health care,etc. Like most European countries.
But on a day-to-day basis, I love my condo, my husband and I have networks and networks of job contacts, friends, acquaintances. I live in Massachusetts where 98% of residents have health insurance (compared to 75% in Texas) and most people share at least some of my values. I have a job I love that I can stay at until my mid-70s if I want to and retire with a small pension.
All in all, I have a good life for which I am grateful, as long as i can keep my depression under control.
