I just read a report that left me feeling validated and left me thinking. Around fifty thousand good people are marching in Washington D. C. and more around the country- why? To protest Trump. To be in unity about: women's rights, gay rights, human rights, immigrants, and on we go......
So I am not alone. The report that I just read said that more and more therapists are getting concerned clients coming in and letting loose about their angst- can I say that? Their fears, their worries, their need to live a good life that is not centered around racism and hate and shoving down others rights.
I am going to have a discussion about this with my hubby. We have talked about our fears before but this time around I want to acknowledge and let my hubby know that we are united as we enter another four year period of chaos and possible hate. We already are trying to engage in helpful ways with our community. Somehow we must double our efforts. May we find pockets of peace as we avoid the local news.

Eva, our world in general needs more love and kindness. And you are correct, it helps so much.

@snowy22315 It will be peaceful if nasty people don't come looking for a fight.

@sallypup I like to do that with gifts to shop from local crafters etc. but the prices at our local stores are too costly. For example someone just shared that eggs are almost $7 a dozen at the local store and I got them for $4.17 at aldis yesterday. When items are two to three dollars more per item it’s beneficial to those of us who can drive to go the 30 miles to aldis and Walmart once a week or every other week and stock up. It saves us a lot of money!

You are definitely not alone. This has been the topic of discussion with my hubby and other like minded friends for months. I think it will be good to continue sharing our thoughts and feelings . . . keeping us united and hopefully being able to come up with solutions to help this crazy world we live in.

@sallypup Oh gosh, I know what you mean about that "feeling". And in a way, I feel like I'm almost grieving about life as it used to be. I mean, the things I grew up knowing I could always rely on (that perhaps we took for granted) - like democracy and human decency - seem to be walking out the door. We do need to keep up being mindful, respectful, with compassion, dignity, and civility . . . keep virtuosity alive before it becomes a lost art.
