Currently all of us are under assault. Literally, and figuratively, we must not succumb to the numbness. I hope everyone that gets to see this post realizes that someone randomly out there, is potentially feeling the exact same emotions that you are. Peacefulness and resilience, mentally those are the two words Im coming back to, find that peace that exists within yourself and everybody else, take solace in that.

(12,113 posts)My Mom used to tell me if I got depressed: Keep Going.
If I was playing piano in public and made a mistake: Keep Going.
And in this instance, I have felt like quitting several times since election day, but I remember to
Keep Going.

Then I remember what good I can do, even the smallest Random Acy of Kindness is exhilarating.
Better than that, I watch my Grandkids, I must have taught my kids pretty well, as my G'Kids are polite,
and always seem to be performing Random Acts of Kindness.
One other thing that brings me joy, is realizing I am nowhere near as stupid a T****, and I've never been a toady.
