All I know is that I can continue to do the Right thing, to walk in Love and Faith on my own Path of Life and hope that the small ripple I make in my Pond is somehow influential in a Positive way in my sphere of influence? I remain in Guarded Optimism because it's just how I tend to be hard wired regardless of the World around me and how very negative it all can appear. Virtual Hugs... Dawn...

The hope is that people will realize their mistake and it will only last 4 years.

We're the only country I know of that ignores the popular vote. <br />Over the years I have went from being a centrist to a democrat since there is no middle ground anymore. And as a democrat I believe we need to get our act together. To appeal to the people that need us most and to stand strong. We've really shot ourselves in the feet. This should have been a slam dunk. <br />I grieve the loss of Hillary. Given half a chance I believe she would have done an amazing job.

We spend too much time in this country thinking of ourselves and not enough time seeing what is going on around us.<br /><br />I hope too for a progressive and compassionate awakening. I can't find anything else to help make sense of all of this. At the very least, it's an opportunity - to wake up, to see what really has value before it's gone and to fight for it. I think it's ridiculous to sit in our little corner making ourselves safe. This is not the time to feel safe, this is the time to yell as loud as you can and drag your neighbor to the corner and ask him/her to yell with you. <br /><br />If Germany could have woken up before it was too late - how different life would be. <br /><br />I know that all sounds very harsh and maybe even unkind, (and I don't mean to offend anyone) but it is, in actuality, a little nightmare out there. It is vigilance that is necessary now - clearly.<br /><br />Well written post, Colette, thank you.<br />livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-3591852463890721862017-01-02T23:08:46.152-05:002017-01-02T23:08:46.152-05:00I also have a fear for the future and an uneasy fe...I also have a fear for the future and an uneasy feeling of what's to come. However, I do believe that other people in power will do the right thing and not allow this man (and those who are influencing him) bring down our great country.
