After the rain

The red roof is the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly building across the Swanannoa Valley.

 I found a new hill from which to photograph the clouds hanging around the mountains.

Looking over US 70 and the railroad to see the mountain ridges with the cotton candy clouds as the hot August sun hit their slopes.

Today's quote:

The more people engage in worrying, the less they feel
confident in their ability to solve a problem and the worse
their solutions to that problem tend to be.  If you're going to
be spending six or seven hours a day worrying about the
coronavirus, you're going to be building up and strengthening
the neural connections that support this activity.  Worrying
breeds more worry.

So what can people do to combat the effects of uncertainty?
...focusing on the present can help dispel uncertainty and the
anxiety it foments.  Do things you enjoy.  Get out a book you've
been wanting to read, or watch a movie, or talk with a friend.
Occupy your brain with work, chores, entertainment, [creativity],
or other activities related to the source of uncertainty; something
that gets your brain into the present moment.
