Today I’ll get a walk early before I get gussied up for
senior center duty. It was a quiet and comfortable weekend and the week will be
routine. I sent my post to Facebook and had positive responses. I can be a
productive resistor to the awful changes in my country. It’s already nearly uncognizable.
I grieve for us all especially the young people who will be most affected.
Megan has had unpleasant experience trying to tell facts to the opposition.
I do not watch national news. It is too disturbing. I scroll
past Facebook posts that are distressing. I will not allow myself to feel
insignificant or powerless. I have a voice, hands, and feet and I will use them
productively. This is my ground. This is where my life is happening. I can keep
my bills paid on time, I can keep my house clean. I can make a neat yard. I can
keep my eye on my neighborhood. I participate in my church. I volunteer in my
community. I pick up trash. I attend public meetings. I want to be part the
solution by monitoring the threat of trickle down from the unpleasantness that
is currently around us. I show up, I listen, I tell my truth, and I share.
