Given recent...events

Or rather fuckery…anyone else having trouble mustering up any hope for the future?

I am having a really rough time feeling anything but the United States is done, so, if anyone has a ray of hope, I would love to hear it…read it.

Still recovering from auto accident, but the news is worse than the pain and lack of mobility from that

Right wingers say we don’t love our country, well it wouldn’t hurt so much to see what is happening if we’d didn’t.

I feel hopeful doctors have told her he's terminal or something

That's the best I can do. But yes, every day, every headline, feels like the beatings will continue....

I can't control the cards I'm dealt, only how I play my hand.

Exactly, Bettie. They are destroying everything that made our country great.

I'm very sorry to hear about your auto accident. Wishing you a quick recovery.
