Today, I’m not going to spend my time trying to “correct” the minds of others or worry about where our great nation is headed.

Or give all my energy to a battle that’s already been won. And I’m not willing to start a new one.

No today, I will not ask those who participate in democracy, who promote it, to actually “Act” it. Nor will I try to lift the veil created by the media and politicians who blindsided so many.

I plan to stay out of the partisan noise – the end of the world talk.

I won’t be asking anyone to reflect on where the disconnect happened, or if their own actions are similar to those who they condone.

Nope, not today.

Instead, I will be dancing in my kitchen with my husband and prepping for my yoga classes and praying we all find a little more acceptance for those with differing viewpoints than our own.
