FOCUS.
This sums up what I've been reading from others who feel overwhelmed by the current state of affairs in our country. It seems as though every time I look at social media or the news, I'm seeing some new outrage.
I want to STOP IT ALL. I want to go back to the time when America had potential to be a moral leader. Now this country has become an arrogant bully with no moral center.
That's when I tell myself to FOCUS. The fact that a slim majority of those who voted chose an amoral felon to lead us does not mean that I have to change.
I still support trans people, gay people, women, minorities, those who are handicapped or disenfranchised. I will continue to support them no matter what the government does.
FOCUS on what can be done: write to the politicians, support those who are fighting in the courts, give money to those who can make a difference. You can't do everything.
FOCUS.
