This is how I am feeling right now.
In memory of Tommie Dale McGlothen Jr.
"As
people exercise their right to protest all across the country––let the
undeniable paths of our progress be a guide going forward: peaceful,
sustained protest; strategic, committed organizing; and purposeful,
overwhelming participation at the ballot box.” - Barack
Obama, August 2020

DeleteLet's thank the good Lord that you have the healthiest President in history, as well as he being the smartest. Thoughts and prayers that the outcome of this terribly worrying episode turns out to be in America's best interests. Then if it transpires so we can REALLY dance! Meantime, thoughts and prayers. ;-)
