I needed to read this so much right now. I have felt my hope get smaller and dimmer over the months as I felt powerless in the face of all the political strife. As I also jumped in to protest, send letters, make calls and do what I could, I started to feel better every day. Reading words like these build my hope stronger. Thank you!
Isn't it amazing how much it helps to DO anything? I don't know why I so often have a hard time hanging onto this lesson. Glad you're finding some medicine in it. Thanks, Wendy!
I think this is the best thing you’ve written ever (apologies to your dad for the superlative)! It’s so hopeful! Thank you so much for cracking my crusty winter ice covering and exposing the budding bulbs of hope and faith that were lying dormant underneath. ♥️
I loved reading this! I too attended the protest, and the thing I love to say to people insisting that he is also my president is ... I know! That's exactly why I'm protesting! It was hopeful to see thousands protesting there that day in our town. Hope in action.
Thank you, Beth! My dad never says anything is the best, he always says things are "probably the second best...for sure in the top 3!" Thanks for starting my day with a smile.

Thanks, Carol! I write to give myself hope and I'm so happy whenever some of it gets on someone else too.

That's the right response! Straight to the point, and much nicer than everything I wanted to say...😂
If this essay is not THE BEST ever, it’s in the top three. Ditto to every word of it. Brava, wise Susan!
