"Be grateful to be alive when your country needs you."
-- David Frum, America at a Crossroads, March 13, 2024

"NOISY NEWS"

"Folks, it’s an incredibly noisy news environment. The potential for overwhelm is huge. So please, remember to breathe. To take breaks for human contact. To eat enough. To dwell on good news where you find it. To observe social media pauses. To seek out news filtered, as Robert Hubbell puts it, “through a lens of hope.”

"And when in doubt remember to take action. 

"The second we’re in action the noise recedes. We recall our purpose. We’re in the solution. Our shoulders drop, our face relaxes, and our backs tend to straighten. Our anxiety recedes.

"Our determination strengthens. 

"And as a result we are fueled to more action. Which soothes us more. And takes us further. And—you guessed it!—changes the course of history. 

"So that someday, thanks in part to our hard work, we get back to a better news cycle."
-- Jessica Craven; Chop Wood, Carry Water, March 12, 2024

TAPS OR REVEILLE?

"When the election is over on November 5, 2024, will we be hearing Taps being played for the passing of our Democracy or will we be hearing Reveille for the re-awaking and survival of our Democracy?

"Let’s keep calm, work hard, and vote BLUE all the way through for the House, the Senate and the Presidency. Just remember and practice this important advice:

'“You can’t wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.”
