I just want to say…..

I continue to be concerned about the deep divisions in the United States at almost every level of government. Rather than be depressed or anxious about where all this is headed, I have resolved to only focus on things I have control over. That includes getting out there and voting, encouraging others to vote, praying that the US finds a path forward that is not so divisive, being open myself to new ideas and paths forward on the issues, and doing my part in seeking to repair the divide rather than enable it. There is no benefit in worrying about where we are headed as a nation. The worrying does not impact the outcome and only makes me more anxious – which again has no value to me or to others. The goal is to be a part of the solution and limit divisiveness rather than encourage it.
