economicaly, medically, emotionally, or directly affected by Trump's proposed policies (well, that could be everybody but to different degrees) it's harder to rise above what's going on in the world. I can't even imagine when Trump is actually president.

We have to find something positive to focus on. I was a political junky/activist and that just isn't working for me right now. So I'm learning a healing modality, doing some spiritual study, trying to find a bigger picture. My husband loses himself in music. It's not enough, yet, but it helps.

I hope we can all come out of this stronger, not let him drag us down to his level. We have something he'll never have: love.
